Four of the matches went the distance. Arguably the most epic was Kennedy’s loss to Penn junior Melissa Alves. After Alves took the first two games, Kennedy roared back with 11-1 and 11-9 wins to force a decisive fifth game. That’s when Alves ended the come-from-behind bid with an 11-9 victory.

More often, though, it was Crimson athletes claiming the key points. Freshman Amelia Henley, junior Alyssa Mehta, and Tutrone all won in five games.

Not all matches featured such drama. Evans and the sophomore Mehta swept the No. 8 and No. 9 positions, respectively. And at the top spot, Penn sophomore Reeham Sedkey blanked Sobhy, including an 11-1 final game.

Sophomore Kayley Leonard appeared at risk of a similar fate when she dropped her first game, 11-9. But Leonard rebounded to win the next three games and the overall match.

Likewise, at No. 7, Ann Young conceded the first game but proceeded to run off the next three—in this case by scores of 11-4, 11-2, and 11-3.
