That's what Graham did for senior Kim Cooper.

Cooper, who didn't play tennis for two years because of injury, was instrumental in the leadership of the 1991-92 Ivy Champs.

"She just came in this year and gave the team a lot of the character that made it so special," Graham said, who awarded the senior with a Coach's Award for Team Contribution. "She received votes for MVP and Most Improved. If she had another year, she might have been selected captain."

DeLone to NCAA's: After freshman Erika deLone takes care of most her exams this week, she'll be on a plane to California on Saturday to compete in the NCAA individual women's championships to be held early next week (Mother Harvard is making deLone take one of her exams in California).

DeLone is currently ranked eighth in the nation by the Intercollegiate Tennis Coaches Association (ITCA).

Most likely, the NCAA tourney will be the last amateur competition in deLone's career.

She has announced that she intends to leave Harvard and renounce her amateur status in order to turn professional after the NCAA championships.

From the "Big Suprise" department: DeLone was named Most Valuable Player of this year's squad.
