"We have some young guys on the team," Barker said. "But everyone played exceptionally well."
The most intense moment of the match was the deciding contest, between Crimson junior William Lee and Tulsa junior Shriranga Sudhaker. Playing out of the third spot, the match decided which school would claim victory.
"Will was diving all over the place. It was exciting tennis," Barker said of the Lee/Sudhaker match. "He really got the crowd behind him."
Lee prevailed after after trailing 2-4 in the tiebreaker, 7-6(4), 7-5(5).
The Crimson followed its upset over Tulsa by taking out the Wildcats the next afternoon, 5-2.
This time, Harvard was able to jump out into the lead as it won the doubles point to start the match. Barker and
Turner stormed to an 8-6 win over Matt Emery and Rahim Esmail. Harvard clinched the team doubles point when Lee and freshman Cliff Nguyen secured an 8-6 victory over Edo Bowano and Rajev Stephens.
