The seeds are in.
And, well, it will be tough.
The Harvard women's tennis team's path through the NCAA regional looks like a rough road to travel, especially as it heads to William and Mary for its opening match of the tournament.
Drawing a seed in the 33-48 group, the No. 47 Crimson (11-11, 7-0 Ivy) will face No. 21 Fresno State (22-6), seeded in the 17-20 group.
And, should the Crimson defeat the Bulldogs, Harvard would likely face its nemesis--William and Mary (20-6).
William and Mary, the 13th seed and the 13th-ranked team in the nation, will face Maryland-Baltimore County in its first-round match.
"William and Mary is our big rival," sophomore Sanaz Ghazal said. "It's nice to have another chance at them. Hopefully we have improved since then."
But first the Crimson has to get through Fresno State, the Western Athletic Conference champions.
The Bulldogs are especially solid at the No. 1 singles slot.
Senior Dora Djilianova is the No. 6 player in the country and also is the winningest player in Bulldog history.
