Big Sad Red

The Cornell match was nothing more than a tune-up. Harvard won all nine matches in straight sets. The Crimson played with businesslike efficiency, piling up victory after victory.

Senior Sharon Kosakowski, who played well last week in a match against Dartmouth, clinched the fifth victory for the Crimson in her second varsity match.

Kosakowski, who played number one for the JV team this year, captured a 6-0, 6-0 victory against Gina Johnson at sixth singles.

Harvard will play its last match of the season Wednesday against Princeton (5-1 Ivy) at Beren Tennis Center. The winner will share the Ivy title with Yale.

"The Princeton match is very important," Mulvehal said. "It'll determine whether we are tied for the Ivy championship or third place. We know we can't win it outright, but at least we can share it."
