Harvard coasted over Brown with a 5-0 opening-round win on Friday.
The Crimson won its first five singles matches, moving it quickly into the quarterfinal. Scoring was based on a nine-point system (six for singles, three for doubles), and the match was stopped after Harvard notched five points.
Senior captain Vedica Jain started the Crimson domination off strongly with a quick win at No. 1 singles. Following suit was the freshman tandem of Sanja Bajin and Nive Jerath, who also picked up wins for Harvard.
Sophomore mainstays Andrea Magyera and Fleur Broughton capped off the fourth and fifth points for the Crimson, quickly eliminating the Bears.
"Brown was a great way to start off the competition," junior
Sanaz Ghazal said. "We made quite a statement with beating Brown 5-0, and we were pretty happy with that."
Ghazal did not compete in first-round competition due to a minor shoulder injury.
"I wanted to save my shoulder for later," Ghazal said. "It was mainly a preventative thing."
