Nobody is perfect, but the Harvard women's tennis team certainly is close.
Even though the team's 10-10 overall record is nothing to brag about, its 6-0 Ivy record certainly is.
In two hard fought matches, the Crimson defeated Brown (14-6, 2-4), 5-4 on Friday and Yale, 6-3, yesterday to clinch a share of the Ivy title.
Little did the Crimson know that the weekend might also mean the end of captain Ivy Wang's collegiate career. Her recurring shoulder injury flared up again forcing her to retire from her match against Yale.
Harvard 5, Brown 4
"We knew it was going to be tough," Wang said. "We lost to them two years ago for the Ivy title."
Wang lost a three-set heartbreaker at No. 1 singles against Brown's Sanranga Sangakkara, 2-6, 7-6, 6-4.
Brown's Julia Martynova defeated junior Vedica Jain in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2 for the No. 2 singles win.
