Yale, which came into the game sitting in first place in the conference standings, clinched at least a share of the Ivy League title with its victory over Harvard.

The Crimson, on the other hand, dropped its chances for the Ivy throne in the bout.

The day began slowly for the visitors. In doubles play, the duo of Tachibana and Norton took down Vicky Brook and Amber Li, 8-6, at the No. 1 spot. But the Bulldogs notched victories at the other two courts, and their two 8-2 wins gave the home team the first team point of the match.

In Harvard’s sole singles win, Tachibana battled Yale’s Elizabeth Epstein. All three sets went into tiebreakers. Tachibana won the first set, 7-6 (4), but lost the next, 6-7 (2). Finally, after an 11-point tiebreaker, Tachibana came out on top and gave the Crimson its lone point of the match.

Junior Camille Jania fell, 6-1, 6-0, at the No. 2 position, while Gridley was unable to win at the No. 3 spot, as her opponent came out on top, 6-2, 6-0. On the No. 6 court, Whelan also had a relatively short match, losing, 6-1, 6-3.

Norton and Blosser’s individual matches at the No. 3 and No. 4 spots, respectively, went into tiebreakers. Norton won her first set, but dropped the next two, falling 3-6, 6-3, 1-0 (10-7). Blosser had a similar fate, losing the final two sets after opening with a victory, 5-7, 7-5, 1-0 (10-8).
