"Bates is a developing team; we were much stronger," Crimson captain Blair Endresen said.
The Crimson's only two individual losses of the afternoon came at the hands of Cornell.
No. 1 player sophomore Margaret Elias lost to First Team All-American sophomore Olga Puigdemont-Sola.
"It was a tough match," Crimson Coach Satinder Bajwa said. "It could have gone either way."
The other Harvard individual loss came at the No. 5 position. Captain Blair Endresen, after going up 2-0, dropped the next three games to her Cornell opponent, losing 3-2.
"After the second game, she started playing harder squash," Endresen said of her opponent.
Despite its other matches on Saturday, Cornell was the clear focus of the day for both Crimson teams as they continued their campaign to defend their Ivy Championships.
