In Princeton, Jordanna Fraiberg was having a slightly easier time. And it wasn't just because she was playing on her birthday.

Belknap had beaten Fraiberg earlier this season in the Howe Cup tournament, but Fraiberg had won the last two times, including a huge 3-1 win two weeks ago to propel Harvard to a national championship.

After last year's 3-0 loss to Belknap in the finals of this same tournament, Fraiberg said that she prepared specifically for this matchup.

"I just decided to get relentless with my strategy and wear her down," Fraiberg said.

Fraiberg said her strategy succeeded in the early stages of the match, as she pulled out a comfortable 15-7 win in the first game.

Belknap came back to take the second game, 15-9, but Fraiberg finished the match with two 15-9 wins in the third and the fourth to capture her first individual title.

"I really was having fun out there in the finals," Fraiberg said. "Everything clicked, and everything was working perfectly."

In the men's tournament, all six Harvard players seeded in the tournament made it to the quarter finals but fell prey to themselves.

On his way to the finals, Fraiberg had to do away with senior Co-Captain George Polsky, 3-1, while Ezra said sent home senior Farokh Pandole, 3-0, and senior Co-Captain Jonny kaye, 3-2.

On the women's side, five of Harvard's seven players were in the top 17 and three made it to the semi-finals.

In the round of four, Fraiberg beat teammate Vanya Desai, who ended up with the number-three ranking in the country, while Tri-Captain Mary Greenhill (fourth-ranked) lost to Belknap.

With both Ivy League and national championships and the uncanny success this weekend, Harvard Squash Coach Steve Piltch said that this season has turned out to be remarkably fullfilling.

"I feel really privileged to have worked with these two tremendous groups of players," Pitch said. "When I started in the fall, I couldn't have created a better ending."
