“This girl has a good game and good ground strokes, but mentally she’s not that strong,” Bergman said of Ptak. “When you have a tight set, sometimes, people get fooled...and I played a lot better in the second set.”

HARVARD 7, PRINCETON 0

Defending the baseline as a tandem for the first time since March 14, Bergman and Lingman showed no signs of rust, routing Vanti Bhargava and Alex Kobishyn 8-0.

“We’ve played togther since freshman year,” Bergman said, “so a couple weeks didn’t really make much of a difference.”

Well, maybe it didn’t make much difference in their game, but the effects of their presence resonated down the ladder.

Wang and Martire proved almost equally dominant, handing Mateya McCoy and Darcy Robertson an 8-2 defeat.

“We made few mistakes this weekend,” Wang said. “We just played as a solid team and didn’t play outside our game.”

The challenge mounted by the Tigers (5-11, 2-3) in singles play proved equally harmless, as the Crimson dispatched each match in straight sets.

Martire struck the first blow, easily besting Jessica Siebel 6-1, 6-1 at No. 3 before Bergman coasted to an equally sound victory at No. 1 against Alison Hashmall.

“I started playing a lot better these past two matches,” Bergman said. “I’m getting more used to playing outside and everyone is in general.”

Anderson, after blowing straight through an undefeated first set against Laura Trimble, held on in the second for a 6-0, 7-5 victory.
