While Ghazal and Naqushbandi both put their opponents away early in two sets, Broughton was taken to a third set by Terrier freshman Alana Marcu. After losing the first set, 6-3, Broughton came back to win the second set, 7-6, and then dominate in the third, 6-0.

The only loss came at No. 4 singles. B.U. junior Carrie Rose beat sophomore Jennie Timoney, 6-1, 6-3.

There were no doubles played in the match because of impending final exams for both teams.

Harvard finishes up the season tied for second in the Ivies with Penn at 5-2. Princeton captures the title with a perfect record of 7-0 and advances to the NCAA championship. Harvard was the defending Ivy champion.

The Crimson ends the season with a 12-11 overall record.

"We have a very young team," Jain said. "All in all, it was a very positive season."
