W. Tennis Gets By Brown, Conquers Yale

In a dramatic finish to the match, the No. 3 doubles team of McGinty and junior Roxanna Curto won 8-3 to clinch the win.

"They've pulled through consistently," Wang said, noting that the pair has decided more than just this match. "Every point, they were just making every shot."

Harvard 6, Yale 3

An injury to the Crimson's top player could not stop Harvard from rolling over Yale at home on Sunday.

Wang retired from her match against Yale senior Somer Khanlarian at No. 1 singles with a shoulder injury in the first set.

"My serve was really painful," Wang said. "I had a really tough match against Brown, but I hadn't fully recovered."

The shoulder, which has bothered her all season and kept her out of competition for much of the year, will make her a question mark for upcoming matches.

"That might have been my last match of the year," Wang said. "We'll just seen how it goes. It's definitely sad, but going in halfway through the season, I was happy being able to contribute as much as I could."

To make up for that loss, the next four singles players for the Crimson all won their matches.

At No. 2 singles, Jain defeated Yale's Sara Naison-Phillips, 7-5, 6-4.

Magyera made her opponent at No. 3 singles, the Bulldogs' Jackie Fu, swallow the double donut, winning 6-0, 6-0.

Ghazal again battled in a three-set match at No. 4 singles, winning 6-4, 3-6, 6-1 over Yale freshman Andrea Goldberg.

"I had a little bit of lapse in the second set," Ghazal said. "I cleaned up my game and came out fighting in the third. She is a tough player. She doesn't make a lot of errors."

At No. 5 singles, Yale's Susie Hiniker routed Broughton for a 6-3, 6-4 win.

McGinty fell in three sets at No. 6 singles, losing 7-5, 4-6, 6-2 to Yale's Lauren Muehl.
