The final match of the spring break trip was the only one Harvard could feel proud about. Playing against the No. 43 University of the Pacific, in Stockton, the Crimson pulled itself together and executed a 5-2 upset over the Tigers. Harvard won two of the three doubles, including Doran and Swart's tense 9-8 (3) win at No. 1, to get the doubles point.

In the singles, Doran fought against Dietrich Haug at No. 1, with both men battling back before Haug retired with an injury at 2-2 in the third set. Lingman, this time playing at No. 2, lost to Thomas Guilloteau, 6-4, 7-5 to make the score 2-1. Green then beat Tobias Abrahamsson in three sets, 6-4, 4-6, 7-5. Freshman Kiteh Kim, playing at No. 6, then clinched the victory with a win over Christian Kauth, 6-2, 6-2.

The Crimson will start the Ivy season soon after returning from break, but it won't be easy, as several Ivy League opponents, including Princeton and Cornell, are nationally ranked. Harvard may not have benefited from the trip in terms of rankings, but playing against top foes like Stanford and Pacific may have readied it for easier opponents.
