W. Tennis Handles U.C. Santa Barbara Before Falling to the Nation's Best

Sophomore Fleur Broughton clinched the team win with her exciting three-set win over Deb Pepkowitz. After dropping the first set, Broughton won a tiebreak in the second set and cruised to victory in the third to win the match 3-6, 7-6, 6-1.

Though the match was won with overpowering singles play, the Crimson continued its dominance over the Gauchos during the doubles portion of the match. The women took two of the three doubles matches to seal the victory.

Broughton and sophomore Sarah McGinty remained hot, easily defeating their doubles opponents 8-1. Bajin, coming off a tough loss during the singles portion, rallied with partner Ghazal to beat Ammann and Wilkens, taking the last five games in an 8-4 win.

In the only doubles loss for the Crimson, Jain and sophomore Andrea Magyera built a 5-2 lead but succumbed to a late surge by their opponents, losing the match 8-5. Magyera had been withheld from singles play due to health reasons.

Despite dropping its last three matches to top-ranked opponents, the Crimson gained confidence and experience during the road trip.

"Overall it was a great trip," Jain said. " It was good preparation for the Ivy League season."

Harvard Coach Gordon Graham and the team now look forward to their return to the Murr Center for a match against Boston College on Wednesday.
