"We felt we were a better team than Princeton,But we knew that they were tough and that we wouldhave to go out a give it our best," Wang said. "Weshowed some real positive energy out there, and webuilt on that in the Penn match.'

Also helping in the Crimson cause against theQuakers was easily the largest crowd of the seasonto witness what promised to be the toughest leaguematch of the year.

Harvard, however, had other ideas, as itdominated Penn, winning all but one match on theafternoon.

Leading the way for the Crimson once again wasWang. After her stint as No. 2 against the Tigers,Wang was back at her usual No. 1 spot against theQuakers.

Wang faced off against one of the Ivy'sbest--Anastasia Pozdniakova--and despite beingplagued all day with pain in her serving shoulder,Wang fought out a straight set victory, 7-6, 6-4.

Meanwhile, No. 2 Jain and No. 3 Magyera alsoearned straight-set victory. Jain defeated Penn'sKaren Ridley 7-6, 6-2, while Magyera bested JuliaFeldman, 6-1, 7-6.

In the No. 4 and 5 spots, however, the Crimsonshowed its fighting spirit and a flair for thedramatic.

At No. 4, Ghazal found herself down to theQuakers' Brooke Herman 5-4 in the second set afterdropping the first. Ghazal fought back, however,recovering to win the second set before cruisingin the third, to take the match 2-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Broughton's comeback at No. 5 was even moreimpressive than Ghazal's. After falling in thefirst set 6-2, Broughton found herself down threematch points at 5-3 in the second. The freshmandidn't panic, however, as she rallied to win thegame and later the second set 7-5, before takingthe third 6-1.

Penn did manage to score a win at No. 6, withLuoani Bascora taking a straight-set decision overCurto, 6-2, 7-5.

With its five singles victories, the Crimsonhad already clinched the victory over the Quakers,but instead of coasting through the doublesportion of the meet, Harvard buckled down andcontinued its dominant play.

Jain and Magyera combined to defeat the Pennteam of Lenka Beranova and Feldman, 8-4, in theNo. 1 position.

At No. 2, Ghazal and Broughton continued theonslaught for the Crimson as they doubled up theQuakers' pair of Pozdniakova and Herman for anidentical 8-4 score.

Finally at the No. 3 slot, Curto once againteamed with McGinty to earn victory. The duo facedoff against Penn's Elana Gold and Ridley and won8-3 to give Harvard its final margin of victory.

"We were a bit surprised to win by such a bigmargin, but we were confident going in, and wefelt that we would win," Wang said. "This has beenthe best team effort that I've seen here. We arereally psyched about how we played, and we hope tobuild on that."

With the victories over Penn and Princeton thisweekend, Harvard has placed itself in the frontseat for the Ivy League Championship. TheTigers--who finished second to Harvard last seasonin the title race--and the Quakers looked topresent the biggest obstacles in the Crimson'spursuit of a repeat.

But despite the confidence gained from sweepingits most difficult weekend in its league schedule,the team said it cannot take its three remainingcontests lightly.

"This was definitely the top of the hill, butwe know that the other teams are not a roll-over,"Wang said. "We just have to go into each of thematches with the same intensity and play hard, andwe will come out on top.
