Netwomen Rout Tigers, 6-1

Crimson Defeat Two-Time Defending Ivy League Champs

The Crimson suffered its only setback of the afternoon at sixth singles where freshman Anna Chai dropped a 6-1, 6-3 decision.

Today Harvard takes the court against Cornell, which came into the weekend with a perfect 4-0 Ivy mark.

"They'll be coming out as hard as they can because it's their biggest match," Chai said. "But we all feel pretty good about our games and we're psyched for the match."

With Princeton behind them, the Big Red figures to be the largest obstacle between the netwomen and the Ancient Eight title--a title Harvard last won in 1992.

The Cornell squad features three players who are perfect on the season in league singles play--including the Big Red's first singles dominator, Olga Itskhoki, who is 11-0 lifetime in Ivy League matches.
