ECAC Humble Pie: The update from Hanover
After strong wins against Penn (4-1) and Cornell (4-0), the Crimson Netters squared off against their rivals from the Big Apple – the Columbia Lions. It was an old fashioned beat down with Columbia firing on all cylinders. While the top-pairing of Denis Nguyen and Casey MacMaster soundly defeated Columbia's duo (who were ranked #14 the country), the doubles point went to the Lions with wins at #2 and #3.
Although Denis Nguyen was leading the Lions top singles player, Winston Lin (ranked #8 in the country), the younger players fell quickly prey to the veteran Lions, losing at #3, #5 and #6. Almost before the match got going – it was over. Two other singles matches looked like they might turn in Harvard's favor but were stopped once Columbia clinched the fourth point. Our hats are off to the Lions. They were razor sharp - it seemed like every shot they hit went in!
Hope we'll give them a better match come April!
