The main story was the surprising upset by the team of Ghazal and Broughton over Skavronskaia and Broderick at the No. 1 position. The duo of Skavronskaia and Broderick are ranked No. 35 in the country, and figured to win without much trouble.

Ghazal and Broughton, however, fought the strong Miami team for every point, keeping the match even throughout. And when the Hurricanes forced a tiebreaker at 8-8, the Crimson duo did not panic. Instead, playing with confidence and great poise they withstood Miami's superior power to take the tiebreaker, 7-3 and the match, 9-8.

At No. 2, Jain and Magyera also gave the Hurricanes a run for their money. Facing the team of Bogomolova and Jimenez, Jain and Magyera jumped out to a 5-2 lead. Miami stormed back, however, winning six of the next seven games, to squeeze out an 8-6 victory.

Despite losing its seventh meet in nine tries, the Crimson remains confident.

Its poor record is more an indication of the high caliber of team that Harvard has been playing, than of the team's ability. Five of the No. 66 Crimson's losses have come to teams ranked in the Top 25.

With Ivy League matches still remaining and most of the tougher meets out of the way, Harvard is looking forward to increased success and more team victories.

"We've been playing some really good teams, with very high rankings," Curto said. "And although the overall team scores have not been great, we've played in some really close matches. So we are pretty confident as we move on to play our easier opponents, as well as our Ivy League matches."
