HARVARD 4, BROWN 3
Harvard kicked the weekend off on Friday with a narrow win over No. 5 Brown. All started well, as the Crimson swept the Bears in all three doubles matches to take a 1-0 lead.
Omodele-Lucien and Tchan partnered up to finish off their opponents by a close 8-6 margin.
In the singles, competition was much tighter, but strong performances from Pearlman at No. 1, Nguyen at No. 4, and MacMaster at No. 6 proved just enough for Harvard to edge Brown on the day, moving the hosts into the semifinals.
On the whole, the squad’s showing this weekend may have disappointed in results, but the program is still optimistic about the remainder of its season.
“Overall, I thought we fought hard,” Fish said. “We know the other competition is very good, and we know they fight hard too. We’ve got a lot of work to do in the next month for the Ivies, but I think we didn’t disappoint.”
