The Crimson's spring break trip was full of top-25 competition, and the difficult early games had prepared the squad for these Ivy battles.
"We had a lot of early losses, but against very good teams," Graham said. "To their credit, this team never got down. This match was a battle just like all the others."
After the match the players celebrated at center court, holding aloft the Ivy trophy. This year's title is Harvard's fourth in five years and 13th in the 19 years of Ivy League competition.
The Crimson will receive an automatic bid to the 64-team NCAA tournament. Harvard will learn its fate next Wednesday when pairings are announced, and the team said it is looking forward to the challenge of a regional tournament.
"It all depends on our seed," Graham said. "If we get a number three seed instead of number four, we have a great chance. We've been playing with more confidence in the last month than all season long, and you never know."
"We've got nothing to lose," Jain said. "We've just got so much confidence."
Riding the momentum of its new title, this team seems ready to make another statement.
