Carp and McLanahan won the doubles tournament, downing Yale's Cynthia Hayden and Anne Seidler, 6-1, 6-7, 6-3.

The other doubles team, Andy Okamura and Katherine Fulton, lost their first round to a contingent from Brown, but entered the consolation tournament and won it, beating an entry from Dartmouth, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

Sally Roberts, the racquetwomen's top entry in the singles tournament, reached the quarter-finals before losing to second seed Sue Graham of Yale, 6-2, 6-0. Graham was a finalist, but lost the championship to Princeton's Linda Rice, 6-0, 7-6.

Terry Clarke, the number one junior varsity player, played the other singles match for Radcliffe, but lost in the first round, 6-1, 6-3. In the consolation tournament, she advanced one round before being eliminated.

Princeton and Yale tied for first place, while Brown came in second, squeezing out Radcliffe by one point.
