This year's squad will feature Ghosh in the top spot, junior Peter Karlen in the No. 2 spot and freshman James Bullock in the No. 3, according to Ghosh. The Crimson's top three will be tested all year, matching up with the other team's best players.

These players will have to offset the loss of Tim Wyant, last year's captain, and one of the top collegiate players in the country.

The Crimson should get substantial performances from the middle and bottom thirds of their roster because Harvard's depth is superior to many of its opponents. Senior Gray Witcher, sophomore Dylan Patterson and Abraham will fill the middle of the Crimson's roster. In the bottom third will be senior Andrew Merrill, freshman Ziggy Whitman and junior David Barry.

Both Bajwa and his captains feel the team's depth is a great asset.

"Every player is important, one through nine," Ghosh said. "Andrew Merrill has probably been the most consistent match-winner on the team and is probably unbeatable at the seven spot."

The Crimson's depth may be an asset against its weaker opponents, but Trinity and Princeton will again test Harvard.

"Trinity is very strong in the top three, so one of our top guys is going to have to step up to the plate," Ghosh said.

Abraham may be a strong component of the Crimson attack this year, as the captain and a three-time All-American is playing low in the order because of an injury and will likely dominate his opponents.
