At No. 2, Wilkins was able to exact revenge upon her junior squash nemesis Amy Gross. After an agonizing, five-game loss to Gross last weekend, Wilkins stormed back with a 9-3, 9-7, 9-4 defeat.

Freshman Moira Weigel, playing in the third spot, was unable to fend off Frances Ho despite a rowdy cheering section whooping and holding up signs spelling Weigel’s name.

“That was the most supportive crowd ever,” Weigel said. “I wish I could have pulled out a win for them.”

Co-captain Ella Witcher, closed out her Harvard career with a 9-4, 9-6, 8-10, 9-3 victory at No. 7, pulling the Crimson into a 4-4 tie and setting the stage for Hall’s climactic finale.

The crowd erupted as Witcher hugged her ecstatic coach.

“Ella played a captain’s match,” Bajwa said.

But Witcher said she was just happy to have had such a memorable and competitive senior season.

“This was a great way to end it,” Witcher said. “[Beating Yale] made it so much sweeter.”
