"I don't think they were huge losses," senior Gina Majmudar said. "The freshman so far are doing better than just replacing them."

In fact, freshman Vedica Jain delivered the team's most promising performance in the Harvard Invitational, taking the championship in the B Singles draw. Jain won in straight sets in every match along the way, finishing with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Leela Raju from Brown in the finals.

In her doubles draw, Jain, along with partner Julia Kim, advanced to the consolation finals. In the finals, which determined the third-place finisher, Jain and Kim made a remarkable comeback. After being down 1-6 in the third-set tie-breaker, they pulled off five consecutive points and toughed it out to win 9-7.

This, according to Majmudar, was the most clutch performance in the entire tournament.

Majmudar herself had a fine weekend, winning in the quarterfinals in a tight three-setter after a first round bye and finishing fourth in the A Singles draw.

The team played this tournament without the help of two of its top players. Ivy Wang competed in the National Clay Courts Championship in Baltimore and Rosemarie She was unable to play because of an ailing back. However, She's injury does not appear to be serious, so the team will be complete for its next match--the ECAC Championships at Yale on October 11.
