The Crimson will host Yale this afternoon in its final home match of the year.

Meanwhile, the Harvard women's team easily defeated Brown in Providence, R.I., 8-1. The netwomen captured all eight victories in straight sets and dropped only their second-doubles match en route to their fourth consecutive Ivy League triumph without a loss.

"Everyone's playing at the best they've played all season," women's Coach Ed Krass said. "We were really ready, and we're just starting to peak."
