The Crimson can breathe easy with this information, as Harvard defeated Brown and Yale earlier this season. The Crimson handed Brown a 5-4 decision on Friday, and defeated Yale 6-3 on Sunday.

Wang, Harvard's No. 1 player, lost a close match to Brown's Sangakkara in three sets, 2-6, 7-6, 6-4. Wang retired from her match against Yale, which may have been her last court appearance for Harvard.

No. 2 Vedica Jain followed suit, losing to Brown's Julia Martynova in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.

The next three singles matches went in the Crimson's favor, as three younger members of the Harvard team stepped up to the challenge.

Freshmen Fleur Broughton and Andrea Magyera defeated the Bears in straight sets, while sophomore Sanaz Ghazal battled Brown's Leela Raju to a 6-4, 2-6, 6-4 decision.

Martynova and Raju moved the match back in Brown's favor, winning No. 1 doubles 8-4. But the tandems of Ghazal and Broughton and Sarah McGinty and Roxanna Curto sailed to victories in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions, 8-2 and 8-3 respectively.

On Sunday, the Crimson took the second through fifth singles positions against Yale. Jain defeated Naison-Phillips, 7-5, 6-4, while Magyera refused to give up a point to her opponent, Jackie Fu, winning 6-0, 6-0.
