The Princeton men's tennis team held off Dartmouth in an Ivy League match Friday afternoon, getting a tiebreak win in the decisive match in the third set from junior Andrew Lieu on the way to a 4-3 victory over the Big Green.
Lieu and Dartmouth's Andres Reyes split sets (6-1 and 1-6) at the No. 5 spot before the Princeton junior won the third set in a tiebreak to earn the clinching fourth point for the Tigers (13-6, 2-2 Ivy).
After winning the doubles point thanks to tiebreak win at No. 3 from Darius Craton and Ted Mabrey, Princeton also got easy wins in singles at No. 1 from Josh Burman and No. 3 Sratha Saengsuwarn.
But the Big Green (8-10, 0-3 Ivy) won at both No. 4 and No. 6 and got a tying point when Dave Waslen came back to defeat Craton 6-4 in the third set at No. 2.
The Tigers host 43rd-ranked Harvard Saturday at the Lenz Tennis Center.
