As the regular season comes to a close, the Harvard women's tennis team has clinched a portion of the Ivy League title. Sharing the limelight with only Penn, sole ownership of the Ivy title is within the Crimson's grasp at home today against Dartmouth.

Currently undefeated in the Ivy League, Harvard (10-10, 6-0 Ivy) is in first place. Penn follows Harvard with a 5-1 record, the only blemish on coming from the Crimson. If Harvard closes out the regular season with a win over Dartmouth today, Penn would be eliminated from a share of the Ivy title.

With most of its difficult matches well in the past, the Crimson is hoping that the Big Green will not complicate things. Dartmouth (9-7, 2-3 Ivy) doesn't seem to pose too much of a threat, although the Crimson could be without Captain Ivy Wang, its top player.

"Even though we have a lot of confidence as a team going into the match, we have to play one hundred percent," junior Vedica Jain said. "If we're all on top of our game tomorrow, we'll do fine."

Dartmouth lacks depth as a team, turning in stellar individual performances, but having trouble pulling together a solid team finish.

This was evident last week as the Big Green had strong efforts from the top members of its team, but still lacked the team dominance. Yale handed Dartmouth a 6-3 loss last Friday and Brown beat the Big Green 5-4.

Dartmouth does have some fantastic individual players that could challenge the Crimson's upper ranks. Juniors Allison Taff and Rebecca Dirksen were the sole point earners in the match against Yale, winning their respective singles matches and pairing to win a doubles match.

Dirksen, who defeated Yale's Somer Khanlarian in two sets, 6-3, 6-2, is the only undefeated player in the Ivy League. She again showed her toughness in a match against Brown's Saranga Sangakkara. Sangakkara is ranked third in the East Region and lost to Dirksen, 6-4, 4-6, 6-4.

Taff took Yale's Sarah Naison-Phillips to three sets, finishing her off, 3-6, 7-6, and 6-2.
