Rounding out the day’s excitement was co-captain Johanna Snyder.

“Johanna played at No. 4 instead of No. 7 this week, so she definitely stepped up,” Harvard coach Satinder Bajwa said.

Even out of her comfort zone, Snyder easily won the match, 3-0.

Undoubtedly, a large part of the Crimson’s victory was the direct result of a roster with great depth.

“We have a very strong team,” Bajwa said. “Sometimes...certain players have a tough day and they come up a little short, but we have such a strong team that we can always count on a player to step up.”

Having put on such a strong display of athleticism at the Brady Squash Center, Harvard clearly demonstrated its superior skill level. But O’Donnell pointed out that the team’s success was not purely the result of its athletic training.

“Our team is really mentally tough,” she said. “It’s about how much you concentrate and your will to win.”

The Crimson will take its strong mentality and well-honed athletic skills on the road in two weeks when it travels to the CSA National Team Championships in New Haven.

“Now, we have to go and fulfill our overall ambition of being [national] champions,” Bajwa said.
