However, of the five singles that took the first set, only Bajin came away with a win, taking the match 6-2, 1-6, 6-2.
The rest ended up losing in three sets.
"We knew going into Tulane that we had a chance at beating them," Bajin said. "There was a point early where it look like we had [won] it, but the momentum changed, and we couldn't hold on."
The team fared better in doubles competition, with the No. 1 doubles team of Bajin and junior Sanaz Ghazal coming from a 6-2 deficit to win 9-7. The No. 2 team of Jain and Magyera also won, posting an 8-5 victory.
However, after dropping five of six singles matches, it proved to be too little too late for the Crimson to recover.
One of the reasons for Harvard's downfall this weekend was the climate. The warmer Louisiana weather meant the team played both matches outdoors instead of the indoor facilities in which it usually plays.
"I'm not going to say we lost because of it, they were both good teams," Bajin said. "But it could have helped us to have been out a little more."
