Hazarika and Dinia came out strong, blowing out Brown’s duo of junior Ivan Kravtchenko and freshman Peter Tarwid, 8-3. The two continued their strong play and advanced to the sweet 16 by defeating a pair from Princeton, 8-6, before being eliminated by Harvard senior Denis Nguyen and sophomore Brian Yeung, 8-5.
Lesage also participated in doubles with partner junior Eliott Hureau, defeating Dartmouth’s duo, 8-7, before dropping the next match to Harvard in the round of 32.
