Women's Tennis Closes On a High Note

The Harvard women's tennis team closed out its season yesterday afternoon with a bittersweet whitewashing of Dartmouth.

The Crimson (12-9, 5-2 Ivy) won every set of singles play en route to a 7-0 victory against the Big Green (7-12, 2-5).

Harvard finishes the season third-place behind upstart Yale and Penn (19-7. 7-0). The Quakers recently wrapped up their first-ever Ivy title.

The only defeat of the day came at No. 1 doubles, where sophomore Sanja Bajin and co-captain Sanaz Ghazal fell 8-9 (4) to Dartmouth's Sarita Yardi and Carly Bashleban.

Harvard wrapped up the doubles point despite the loss at the top, thanks to juniors Fleur Broughton and Andrea Magyera who won, 8-3, at No. 2 doubles, and junior Sara McGinty and sophomore Lara Naqushbandi won by the same score at No. 3.

Bajin would earn her revenge in singles, cruising over Yardi in No. 1 singles, 6-4, 6-2. Ghazal would win her final career match in No. 3 singles against Courtney Smalley, 6-4, 6-3.

Broughton and Naqushbandi earned their second victories of the afternoon with wins at No. 2 and No. 4 singles, respectively. Broughton won 6-1, 6-4 and Naqushbandi won 6-3, 6-1.

Junior Jennie Timoney was triumphant at No. 5 singles with a 6-2, 6-2 victory, while Lola Ajilore-the lone freshman starter on the team-won 6-1, 6-0 at the No. 6 spot.
