The Crimson has won four Ivy titles, two ITCA Eastern Tournaments and made three appearances in the NCAA since Mulvehal joined the squad.

"I give so much credit to my teammates," says Mulvehal, referring to her unbeaten Ivy streak. "They gave me so much self-confidence when I was on the court. I never entered a match saying I have to win because of the streak. I've always wanted to be able to add a win for the team. It's something that I'm proud of now."

Mulvehal is always loquacious and animated about her teammates or the tennis program.

"It's been one of my highlights at Harvard," Mulvehal says. "Being on the tennis team means so much more than just playing tennis everyday. It's the relationships that I formed with the coaches and players. It's the people I've met and experiences I've shared."

After playing number-one for the JV team in the fall of her freshman year, she began rotating into the varsity lineup at number-six singles during the spring season. During her junior year, she won the Harvard Invitational third-flight singles and doubles tournament and reached the finals of the Syracuse Invitational at the number-five position.

Mulvehal posted her best singles and doubles records in the junior year, finishing with a 27-7 singles mark and a 27-3 doubles mark with Cyndy Austrian. The Crimson finished that season 20-8, accumulating the most wins ever in a single season.

Mulvehal credits Harvard Coach Ed Krass for improving her game.

"Ed helped me so much with coming at the net, hitting approach shots and volleys," Mulvehal says. "He added more dimensions to my game."

This year, the Crimson finished with a 6-1 Ivy record (15-11 overall) good enough for its seventh straight Ivy title. Mulvehal was 23-12 in singles.

"You couldn't ask more of a person," teammate Jennifer Minkus says. "She is one of my dearest friends and a great leader. She is so thorough, hard working and dedicated."

On the way out, Mulvehal has few regrets."

"It was a little disappointing not making NCAAs," Mulvehal says. "But this was my favorite year. There was so much unity among the team. More than anything, I'm going to miss the players on the team."

And Harvard will miss one of its stars.
