CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—Binghamton men’s tennis (7-11) nearly won the doubles point before host Harvard (15-1), ranked 20th in the nation, swept the six singles matches to post a 7-0 win at the Murr Center on Friday.
The Bearcats’ top doubles tandem of juniors Ruben Devos and Bastian Bornkessel scored an impressive 9-7 win over the 44th-ranked doubles pair of Casey MacMaster and Alistair Felton at No. 1. The result was a big reversal from the last time the teams met in the ITA Northeast Regional semifinals in October, when the Harvard duo advanced with an 8-3 win. It was the 19th win of the season for Devos and Bornkessel.
Binghamton then held match point at second doubles to clinch the doubles point, but the Crimson rallied for a 9-8 win.
In singles, freshman Ismael Dinia was the lone Bearcat to push his match to three sets in defeat. Dinia won the second set before losing to Shaun Chaudhuri 6-1 in the third and clinching set.
Binghamton next travels to Buffalo to face the host Bulls and Western Michigan next weekend.
