As seasoned veterans, both Granat and Roiter certainly add a pivotal dimension to the very young team--experience.

Granat feels that experience is her primary contribution to the Crimson line-up.

"Being one of the oldest, I think that I'm able to teach the younger players to be more flexible and adaptive," Granat says.

Roiter feels that her role as an elder co-captain helps her teammates to adapt as well--particularly to the game pressure.

"Just because of the fact that I'm generally an up-beat person, I think that I can help others deal with the pressures--especially the younger players," Roiter says.

"I think I'm able to get [the team] psyched-up before matches and help people cheer up if they are upset afterwards," she adds.

Upset is the emotion that the two felt after last year's loss to Dartmouth at the end of the season.

"Last year's [Dartmouth] loss has been the most upsetting experience in my tennis career to this point in time," Granat says. "Even though I played the best match of my college career, the team's loss was devastating for me."

Fortunately, Roiter did not have to cheer anyone up after Wednesday's victory against Dartmouth, which clinched the Ivy League crown for the women's team.

"It felt so good to win--especially since it was against Dartmouth in the final match," Roiter says.

"I think that the win was particularly exciting for me--I've watched the team grow over the past seasons and build itself into a championship team," Granat says.

Obviously, the Crimson has followed the example set by its co-captains--it found a way to win on Wednesday.
