M. Tennis Falls in First Round of NCAAs

No. 13 Fighting Irish Hand Crimson 4-0 Loss at Brenen Tennis Center

Up 4-2 in the second set, Lee dropped four straight games to lose the second, 4-6, and was down, 2-3, in the third when play was suspended.

Choo dropped his second set 2-6 and was heading into the third set when time was called.

“We played really well in the No. 1 through 3 spots,” Fish said. “We were basically one point shy of really threatening them.”

Notre Dame’s experience was a factor in the victory. Three Irish players played against Harvard in the 1999 NCAA tournament while none of the current Harvard players competed in that match.

But with four freshmen in the lineup Saturday, Harvard’s future looks promising.

“It was an absolute pleasure to play with these guys and it’s going to be a lot of fun to come back and see them the next few years,” Barker said. “They’re going to be really good.”

“This was a great experience for our guys, especially to be playing at home,” Fish said.
