The Crimson's bottom third turned in clutch performances, as senior Katie Gregory and freshmen Ashley Harmeling and Kirstin Wadwha swept the seventh through ninth spots for Harvard. Each woman won in convincing fashion, 3-0. Harmeling was brutally efficient in her defeat of Quaker freshman Quincy Riley, giving up only three points in winning, 9-3, 9-0, 9-0.
Harvard's No. 1 player, freshman Louisa Hall, fell to Penn sophomore Runa Reta in three games, 9-6, 9-3, 9-4. Reta is still undefeated on the year in Ivy play.
Crimson captain Margaret Elias was able to recover Harvard's momentum after Hall's loss. Elias continued her strong play at No. 2, as her experience carried her past Quaker freshman Defna Wegner in straight games, 9-4, 9-5, 9-6.

Co-captains Deepak Abraham and Shondip Ghosh paced the Crimson. From the No. 1 slot, Abraham wore down Quaker senior Peter Withstandley, 15-6, 15-12, 17-14. Withstandley fought hard, battling Abraham for several lenghty points, but was no match for the Harvard captain in the end.
Junior Peter Karlen continued his stellar play, dominating junior Roberto Kriete, 15-5, 15-3, 15-1.
