Tennis Beats Three Ivy Rivals, Takes ECAC Crown

“It’s amazing—[Harvard and Columbia] are two really fine teams teeing off,” Fish said. “We happened to get the edge today.”

HARVARD 6, PRINCETON 1

On Sunday, Harvard cruised past Princeton (1-3) in the semifinal by a score of 6-1. After dropping the doubles point, Harvard rebounded with a sweep of all the singles matches.

Chijoff-Evans won in straight sets at the top of the ladder, as did Felton at No. 2. Omodele-Lucien won a close match at No. 3 and the rookies Tchan, Schultz, and Nguyen closed out the bottom of the ladder in that order.

“It was a really fun match, and a great wake up call for us as to what it would take to win the doubles point [against Columbia],” Fish said.

HARVARD 5, BROWN 2

Harvard beat Brown (5-4) soundly on Saturday to start off the tournament. After sweeping the doubles matches for the first point, the Crimson won four of six singles matches to seal the deal.

“We played very good doubles,” Fish said. “The guys really buckled down for that [match].”

Chijoff-Evans won, 6-2, 6-3, at the No. 1 spot, and was supported by victories by Felton at No. 3, Nguyen at No. 5, and Hayes at No. 6. Omodele-Lucien fell, 6-4, 6-4, at the No. 2 spot, and Tchan lost at No. 4.
