In Draw D, Harvard had yet another player win his flight. This time, it was sophomore Kelvin Lam, who took three straight-set victories to make it to the final, where he defeated the Lions’ Max Schnur, 4-6, 6-5, 6-4.
Despite the encouraging play this weekend against Ancient Eight rivals, the Crimson is not reading too much into its performance.
“We have a lot of work to do if we want to win the league come spring time,” Steinroeder said. “It’s good to measure yourself against the Ivy teams, but not to look too much into the results because it’s hard to tell where they’re at right now.”
After two straight tournaments, Harvard will take two weekends off before heading down to the important Aggie Fall Tournament in College Station, Texas, which is one of the biggest tournaments of the fall season.
“This weekend was a great stepping stone for us,” Chaudhuri said. “Getting the first taste of what the Ivy season will be like gives us a destination and goal in mind. We saw the teams compete, and now it’s time to go back to the drawing board.”
