Big Weekend Ahead For Ivy League Tennis

PRINCETON, N.J. — With only one weekend of action remaining in the Ivy League women's tennis season and two weekends remaining in the Ivy League men's tennis season, the race for the conference titles is coming down to the wire on both sides.

Ivy League women's tennis has enjoyed a lot of success in recent years as both Harvard and Princeton punched their tickets to the NCAA Championships last year on the women's side.

As for the men, four Ivies (Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, and Princeton) all earned spots in the NCAA Championships in the last two seasons. In addition, Columbia's Michael Zheng earned the national title in men's singles in back-to-back seasons.

On the women's side, Princeton (5-0) is the lone unbeaten in the conference with a chance to win at least a share of the Ivy League title on Saturday. However, both Columbia and Yale who trail the Tigers by just one game, also have a chance to win at least a share of the title this weekend.

For the men, four teams enter the weekend with title-winning chances. Columbia (4-0) stands atop the standings, but Cornell, Dartmouth, and Harvard are all lurking one game behind at 3-1. Depending on the results of Saturday's contests, all four teams could have a chance to clinch at least a share of the title on Sunday.
