Women
"We have a deep team," said freshman Louisa Hall, ranked in the 5-8 category. "We have done well at every spot."
The women's bracket is set up differently than the men's. There are 64 women competing for the same title, and only the first four seeds are ranked. The additional round means that the victor must win six matches in the same three-day span as the men, making stamina even more important.
Despite its absence from the top four spots, Harvard does have two women in the 5-8 seedings. Joining Hall is junior co-captain Margaret Elias.
"The seedings look good for us," Elias said. "The top 16 are so close that the seedings don't mean as much. Anyone can push to the top."
Co-captain Virginia Brown, juniors Carlin Wing and Colby Hall, and sophomore Ella Witcher comprise the rest of the strong Crimson contingent competing for a title.
"Harvard players have lots of momentum going in," Elias said. "I certainly think there's a little something to prove. We want to show that we have the top players as well as the top team."
