Princeton Sweeps Brown On Senior Day, Hopes For NCAA At-Large Bid
April 19, 2026 | Men's Tennis
The Princeton men's tennis team finished its regular season on a high note, with a weekend sweep, a celebration of its three seniors and a NCAA tournament resume addition or two. Will it be enough for when the bids are announced in eight days?
Princeton closed out the Ivy League season with a 7-0 win over Brown Sunday afternoon, 24 hours after taking down Yale Saturday afternoon. Princeton and Brown agreed to play out the entire six singles matches, all of which went to the Tigers after taking the doubles point.
The two wins came after a five-match Ivy losing streak that saw Princeton, already without senior Ellis Short, lose No. 3 singles player Landon Ardila to injury. The three Princeton seniors were honored between the doubles and singles matches, as Top Nidunjianzan, Sebastian Sec and the injured Short were given framed photos and other gifts and joined by their teammates at Center Court.
"Today was an emotional day as we had three seniors who have been the lifeblood of our program the last four years," said Princeton head coach Billy Pate. "This will go down as one of the best classes in Princeton tennis history as these three tallied 412 singles and doubles wins collectively — truly a remarkable accomplishment when you consider Sebastian was out last year and Ellis was out this year. We hate to see them go, but they are incredible representatives of Princeton Men's Tennis and will proudly carry that for the rest of their lives. It was good to have success in the last two matches of the regular season. We did a good job this weekend getting off to better starts and it certainly helped being at home. Undoubtedly, the last part of the year didn't quite go the way we anticipated, but we're excited about the potential to extend the season. Hopefully, we are selected for the NCAA as this team is deserving and can be dangerous, particularly if we are healthy."
