The Harvard tennis team powered its way past Ivy spoilers Brown and Dartmouth to walk away with the New England Collegiate Tennis Tournament championship held at Williams College this weekend.
The netmen played in five out of the six finalist matches yesterday, resulting in three division championships.
Coach Jack Barnaby had cautiously hoped that Harvard's depth would be decisive, and he couldn't have been more accurate. The Crimson swept both the B and C division matches for the overall tournament championship.
Harvard dominated the B play, as John Ingard defeated teammate Tom Loring in the finals, 7-6, 6-1. In B doubles, the Crimson's Gary Reiner and Ingard put down a Dartmouth duo, 6-4, 6-4.
Dartmouth's Jim Myers took the honors in C division singles, frustrating Harvard's Chip Baird, 7-6, 6-0. Baird came back with Tom Loring, however, to blow a Brown team off the court, 6-0, 6-1, and nab the C division championship for the Crimson.
In the tough A singles division, Ken Lindner fought to the finals only to be nipped by MIT's Bill Young, 6-4, 2-6, 7-5. The A division doubles finals was the only championship match in which Harvard was not represented.
Harvard ranked first in the field of 26 teams with a solid 50 points, followed by Brown with 39, Dartmouth with 37 1/2 and MIT with 29 1/2. Yale finished down the ladder in ninth place with 21 points.
