At the No. 1 position, junior Vedica Jain hung tough with hard-hitting sophomore Lioudmila Skavronskaia. After dropping the first set 6-1, Jain managed to regroup, taking the second, 7-5, to even the match. But Skavronskaia's incredible power proved to be too much in the end, as Jain finally fell in the third set, 6-1.

Fleur Broughton, playing in the No.4 slot for Harvard, also took her opponent to the limit in singles competition. Facing sophomore Alanna Broderick, Broughton took the first set in a tiebreaker, 7-6. Broderick, however, quickly recovered, winning the final two sets, and the match, 6-2, 6-1.

In the No. 2 position, Crimson sophomore Sanaz Ghazal took on sophomore Katia Bogomolova. Although Ghazal battled throughout, Bogomolova was able to handle her, winning the match in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3.

Harvard freshman Andrea Magyera played a very close match with freshman Marcy Hora at the No. 3 slot, but also fell in straight sets, 6-4, 7-5.

At No.5, freshman Jenny Timoney was unable to get anything going for Harvard in her match against junior Evqa Jimenez, as she fell 6-0, 6-0.

With the match already in hand, Miami voluntarily defaulted in the No. 3 doubles match, but still played for the No. 1 and No. 2 positions.

Despite playing only for pride at this point, Harvard remained focused and poised, playing its best tennis of the afternoon in the doubles round.
