When play resumed and the singles matches took the court, it appeared the confidence from both Steinroeder’s initial win and the recent doubles sweep held steady for Harvard. Despite Pearlman’s loss in three sets to Josh Friedman, 3-6, 6-3, 1-0, it was smooth sailing the rest of the way.

Chaudhuri took an early lead in his third match of the day and never gave it up, finishing at 6-3, 6-3. Denis Nguyen was next, putting Harvard another notch above its cross-river rivals as he won, 6-0, 6-2, and Felton shortly followed with a score of 6-1, 6-2.

Freshman Jeffrey Parker made one of his first appearances of the season and wasted no time getting acquainted with collegiate play, taking down his Terrier competition, 7-5, 6-0.

The last match of the day took place between Seaver and opponent Bill Kring. Though it went to three sets, the sophomore took control when it mattered and sealed the day’s events with a score of 6-4, 4-6, 1-0.

Felton attributed the ability to win these two matches, so close together time-wise, to the hunger of the team.

“It could’ve been difficult, but the attitudes of the players we have this year, their appetites for the game are so great, that even those who just finished their singles matches wanted to play doubles against BU,” Felton said.
