Men's Tennis Falls at Brown, 5-2
April 05, 2009 | Men's Tennis
PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- Peter Capkovic and Alex Faust were winners at first and fifth singles, respectively, for the Princeton men's tennis team, but Brown took the Saturday afternoon match 5-2.
Two of Brown's singles wins were in three sets and a Brown win at first singles finished 9-7. Those three outcomes could have tipped the match, with Ilya Trubov and Ryan Kim winning at second singles, but the Bears prevailed in all three matches.
The Tigers will be home next weekend against Harvard and Dartmouth.
