Saturday marked the last home match for Garcia, the only senior on the team, and her teammates wished her a happy farewell.

"We played well for [her]," sophomore Jennifer Jose said.

The Crimson has a week to practice until the Ivy League Tournament next weekend, when it will face off against Princeton Friday.

"We're really confident," Rypkema said. "If we can play the way we think we can, I think we have a really good chance."

Harvard has reason to be excited. With a record of 8-14 overall, 2-5 Ivy, it has doubled the win total of last year, and with a young team, things are definitely looking up.

"Next year the team will be great," Garcia said. "We have a couple of great recruits. We've had a good time this year."
