"I was really energized knowing the match came down to me," Turner said.

He then rolled off four straight games to give him the set, 7-5, and Harvard the match.

Harvard finished off the Blue-Gray Classic against No. 24 Indiana State. With the singles being played first, the Crimson suffered at all the top spots. Choo and Turner lost in straight sets, but Barker once again came up with a good 6-2, 6-3 win at No. 6 over David O'Connell.

The Crimson remained competitive in most of the singles matches, but Nguyen, Lee and Riddell all lost to give the match to the Sycamores, 5-1.

"Indiana State was a more seasoned team at this stage in the season," Harvard coach Dave Fish '72 said. "They executed better than we did and deserved to win today."

With co-captain Mike Rich injured, the heart of the lineup was filled with freshmen and sophomores. In that light, Fish was relatively pleased with the 1-3 record over the weekend.

"Any time you go to the Blue-Gray Classic and come away with a win, it's a successful weekend," Fish said. "The field was deeper here than I've ever seen before."

The Crimson will be back in action over spring break when it travels to California to play Fresno State, Southern Methodist, Idaho and UC-Santa Barbara.
