In its first competition under new coach Dave Fish and its only competition of the fall, the Harvard tennis team placed second in a 16-team field at the ECAC tournament held at Princeton this weekend.

The host Tigers placed first in the tournament, while Navy finished third and Yale fourth.

Senior Dan Waldman, coming off a strong spring season at number three for the Crimson, turned in a strong performance in the Division A singles before dropping a semifinal match. Waldman teamed with Cliff Adler in the Division A doubles and made it to the semifinals before losing.

Senior Todd Lunder and sophomore Kevin Shaw, both of whom were hampered by arm injuries during practice last week, played well in the Division B doubles competition before losing in the finals.

Sophomore Scott Walker turned in a solid performance, lasting to the semifinals in the Division B singles and teaming with freshman Dan Gerken for several victories in the Division C doubles before losing the final. Gerken also made it to the singles finals in Division C before dropping that match.
