Freshman Cliff Nguyen was dominant in his match at No. 2 singles. Nguyen came away with a 6-3, 6-0 victory that put the Crimson up 3-0.
Sophomore Oli Choo was unable to seal the victory for the Crimson with a 4-6, 3-6 loss at the No. 3 spot.
Fittingly, the deciding match was won by Barker, one of only two seniors on the team. Playing at the No. 4 spot, Barker found himself in a hole early, dropping the first set, 4-6.
Barker recovered control and evened the match at one set apiece, taking the second set, 6-3.
"My player made some easy errors in the second set to give me a break," Barker said.
Experience proved valuable for Barker in the third set as he finished Big Green freshman Borko Koreshi 6-2 in the final set and earned the fourth team point which clinched the Crimson victory and the Ivy title.
"After falling behind early it was a really good feeling to come back," Barker said.
