Cambridge, Mass. - Boston University men's tennis saw its three-match win streak come to an end at Harvard University on Tuesday, April 3 when the Crimson swept the Terriers, 7-0. BU is an even 9-9 on the year, while Harvard improves to 5-7.

The Crimson won all three doubles matches to earn the doubles point. Harvard also won all six singles matches - five in straight sets. Senior co-captain Jared Kobren (Longboat Key, Fla.) pushed his match to a third set. Kobren won the first set in a tie-breaker, 7-6 (4), over Kieran Burke at fourth singles, but Burke rallied to take the second set, 6-3, and win the super tie-breaker.
