The final win of the day came from Morrow at sixth singles. After splitting the first two sets, Morrow found himself at a 4-0 disadvantage in the third set. But the rookie managed to come back and win the third set.

“I just tried to restart and put as many balls into play as possible,” Morrow said. “I felt like I started to do that really well and thankfully it was enough to come back and win.”

SAN DIEGO 4, HARVARD 1

In the first match of the tournament, Harvard came out strong to win the doubles point. Going 1-1 at second and third doubles, Hu and Yeung, playing first doubles, managed to close out their match 6-4 for a point for the Crimson.

But Harvard was unable to overcome the Toreros in the singles competition, losing all its matches in straight sets. At first and second singles, Hu and Beltrame took two ranked opponents: No. 26 ranked San Diego senior Uros Petronijevic and No. 53 Toreros senior Jordan Angus, respectively.

Both matches went into the third set, but went unfinished due to Harvard’s losses across the rest of the ladder.

“On the first couple of days as a team we didn't commit to our games enough and didn't play enough points in the way we wanted to,” Morrow said.
