Holly Fischer secured the win for Harvard at the No. 1 spot, winning the match and clinching the victory for the team.
This recent victory extends Harvard’s record-breaking start in program history, with the team now standing at 11-2 overall and having won their last seven contests. Highlights include the first victory of the season for Iveta Daujotaite and Angel You in the No. 2 doubles spot, and Kate Kim becoming the first Crimson player this season to surpass 10 wins in dual competition, with 20 singles matches won. Additionally, both Holly Fischer and Maxi Duncan stand side by side in overall singles victories, each collecting their 11th victory of the year.
The meeting between the two squads is only the second in the history of their encounters, with the Crimson remaining undefeated against the Titans.
