STAMFORD, CT - A third meeting against Middlebury and another epic, the Ephs were unable to hit the five win mark after trailing the entire match.

Shortly after, David Pincus '20 (#8) produced the same result as he did at the NESCAC Championship, winning 3-1 with confidence, which made the score 1-2 Ephs. Wyatt Khowrowshahi '21 (#2) was defeated in three games that were closer than the score suggested.

Jacob Bassil (#5) and David Pincus '20 (#8) produced the same results that they did at the NESCAC Championshuips, defeating their Midd opponents in five and four games, respectively. Eisenberg and Bassil capped off the weekend as undefeated with the five game victories on Saturday and Sunday.
On the top court, Co-Captain John Fitzgerald '19 (#1) got off to a strong start, winning 11-8, before slowing down and missing an opportunity in the fourth game to send the match to five. William Means '20 (#4) pulled out another five-game win but was not able to stop Midd from responding with a 3-0 win against A.J. Solecki '21 (#7) to edge the Ephs 5-4.
