"Brown has not been one of the stronger teams this year," Mandeau said. "They are a young team, very aggressive, but at this point we have too much firepower."

Passarella and Doran displayed that power in the third doubles slot, blanking Kevin Chew and Andrew McFarlane 8-0.

In singles play, Blake, Doran, Green, and Lee--then playing No. 6--each won in straight sets. Only Passarella and Clark needed a third set in their singles victories. Clark's match went to a tiebreaker in the final set, and he won 6-3, 4-6, 7-6.

"My first set against Brown was great," Passarella said. "I kind of lost my concentration and let the guy back in the match."

Harvard concludes its Ancient Eight schedule Wednesday at Dartmouth in an attempt to cap a perfect league season. The game doesn't matter standings-wise, because all the other Ivy teams have at least two losses.

Still, in Harvard's mind, the Ivy trophy is already collecting dust. After Dartmouth, the Crimson will prepare for NCAA regional competition for two-and-a-half weeks.

By then, the team expects Majmudar to have recovered enough from his maladies to play, restoring his partnership with Blake--the No. 2 ranked tandem in the nation.

"Dartmouth courts are always pretty crazy, as it's a big frat thing to come out and watch," Passarella said. "We'll then get a nice break during reading period in which we'll be able to practice a lot."
