Paired up with Erica Michelstein, who is also a Crimson editor, against Tufts, they took the top position.

Wilkinson repeated this feat with Sarah Doernberg against Winsor.

The fact that the Radcliffe Tennis Club is a no-stress organization that sees commitment as a function of how much effort each participant wants to put in to the club is not the only tempting feature that attracted 50 new members.

In fact, it certainly didn't hurt that the club was offering inter-collegiate competition for the first time ever.

"While the club is open to women of all tennis abilities, many members are JV and varsity-level players, who, whether due to time constraints or other reasons, want to compete intercollegiately but not on the regimented schedule of a varsity team," Petrovic said. "As a result, the club just completed its inaugural year of intercollegiate competition with wins over the JV women's teams of MIT and Tufts."

Now that the team is an established organization at Harvard, junior varsity-level and club teams from other colleges and preparatory schools in the area expressed significant interest in competing against the organization in the future.

The Radcliffe Tennis Club is also included on the competitive rosters for the fall at Dartmouth, Boston College, Wellesley, Brown, Emmanuel, MIT and Tufts.
