CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Four players represented Notre Dame at Chowderfest this weekend hosted by Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Brian Bilsey, Noah Becker, Jayanth Devaiah and Luis Llorens each took to the court for 3 doubles and 3 singles matches throughout weekend. All matches were played indoors as the weather was overcast and rainy so play took place in the Murr Center.
The veteran team of Bilsey and Becker, a senior and junior respectively, bookended their weekend with a pair of doubles victories. They opened up play on Friday with a win over Yale and defeated the duo from Southern Methodist on Sunday. Devaiah and Llorens also picked up two wins on the doubles court. After a day 1 defeat in a very close tiebreak set on Friday, they rebounded with a win over Harvard on Saturday and took out the Boise State team on Sunday with a 6-game run to win the set 6-2.
In singles, freshman Luis Llorens opened the weekend with a 3-set win over Yale, moving his win streak to 5 in a row to start his collegiate singles career. But the streak would end as he lost a 3-set match to Harvard on the second day and a close straight set match to Illinois…
