Blake cruised to a 6-4, 6-4 win, suffering just one service break.
"James always had the upper hand in the match," Styperek said. "The score was closer than the actual match."
Jooste extracted a small measure of revenge on the doubles court, winning 8-3 with teammate David Hodge.
Still, one small defeat there does not diminish a magnificent weekend for Blake in the midst of a more brilliant season.
His two singles victories bumped his season total up to 36 against just three losses. For his career, Blake now stands at 74-8.
"[Blake] was our sure win," Styperek said. "He was a big help and took a lot of pressure off the rest of the rest of us."
Harvard's season may have ended Sunday, but Blake is now getting ready to prove his mettle once against at the NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships, which begin on May 26.
