"It seems like fighting off match points is starting to be my thing," Broughton said. "Towards the end of my match I knew we were down 4-1, so I needed to win to give us a chance in doubles. After the win, we were all really excited and pumped."

The Crimson was especially confident entering the doubles matches, given that Fresno St. had previously lost several meets in the doubles round after entering with a 4-2 lead. That fact, coupled with Harvard's strong pairs play, had the Crimson optimistic about its chances.

"We had heard that Fresno St. had lost several times in the doubles round," Broughton said, "so going into doubles we were very confident."

But, it was not to be, as Harvard was unable to manage a single doubles victory.

The duos of Magyera and Jain; Broughton and Ghazal; and Curto and freshman Sarah McGinty all dropped their matches as Harvard fell to Fresno St. by a total score of 7-2.

Despite the disappointing finish to the season, however, Harvard came out of the match with its head held high, proud of the season's accomplishments. Having won the Ivy League championship with a perfect 7-0 league record, the Crimson still considers the season a success.

"We were definitely disappointed with the loss against Fresno St.," Broughton said, "but we are still happy with what we accomplished. We improved so much over the season."
