All doubles woes from the previous day simply melted away as Harvard swept all three Big Red pairs, supposedly stronger than their Lion counterparts.

Jain and Magerya, promoted to No. 1, defeated Michelle Deyen and Ngozi Amobi 8-3. Ghazal and Broughton rebounded for a 9-7 victory at No. 2.

Lastly, Curto and Flink found their chemistry smoking Becky Sendrow and Carolyn Zakrevsky 8-2.

"Our doubles teams are really strong," Maygerya said. "We caught a couple of bad breaks Friday, but played very well [Saturday]."

In individual play, the Big Red drew Harvard out for some longer matches, but only Ravi at No. 6 could not find a way to win, dropping in three sets, 2-6, 6-1, 1-6.

Magyera and Broughton again led the way for Harvard sailing through their matches 6-2, 6-3 and 6-1, 6-2, respectively.

"Personally, I was playing strong tennis," Broughton said. "I was playing very patiently and picking my shots well."

The Crimson players seemed in complete control of their other singles matches. Ghazal and Curto's matches needed three sets, but the Harvard players dictated the play.
