Beren alone won both the doubles matches he played in. Against a Notre Dame duo, Beren teamed up with Andrew Ball to claim the victory 8-5. Beren and Wrzesinksi also took home an 8-5 win later that day against a Wisconsin duo.
“It felt good. It was the first time my family has come to watch me play so it was really fun playing well in front of them,” Beren said.
DAY ONE
Friday afternoon marked the first day of the tournament and the Crimson squad’s first competitive play this season.
Eight singles players took to the courts, with rookies Koelle and Wrzesinski, Morrow, Solomon, and Lee all taking home wins. “Overall our team is looking good. Our freshmen are very talented and we have a lot to work with,” Tao said.
Tao, Beren, and Thirouin all fell to their opponents in close three-set matchups.
On the doubles side, Harvard claimed two wins. Tao and Koelle earned their first doubles win, while Solomon and Lee defeated their Buffalo opponents 8-2.
