"The doubles point was key," Graham said. "I think we would have pulled out another singles match if we needed to, but the doubles point could have easily gone the other way. Who knows what would have happened then?"

Harvard jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the match after Bajin dispatched of Causway 6-0, 6-2 at No. 1 singles. Bajin continued her excellent play of late, perhaps playing with added spirit after her gritty doubles win earlier.

The Crimson captured its third point at No. 6 singles. Junior Jennie Timoney put Harvard one-point away from victory with a straight set, 6-4, 6-3 win over Hannah Bartell.

Broughton won the clincher for the Crimson at third singles, playing determined tennis en route to an inspired 7-5, 6-4 victory.

"Fleur did a great job of finding a way to win even though she was not playing her best. That's really the sign of a great player, when you can win without your A-game," Graham said.

Yet, instead of packing up the bags and going home, B.U. salvaged the trip to the Murr Center tennis courts by winning the last three matches of the day. Though the three Terrier wins were not enough to win overall, they should give the squad confidence going into the week.

Elena de Mendoza played impressive tennis over Naqushbandi, winning 6-4, 6-3 at No. 4 singles.
