“We had two girls missing because of injury,” Mumanachit said. “But despite that, we did really well. We came away with some wins, [and] some losses. But if there’s anything I’ve learned in these past four years, it’s that you learn more from the losses than from the wins.”

Harvard will not face its toughest competitors until later in the season. The squad will not play a ranked opponent until it takes on No. 8 Dartmouth on Nov. 28.

The Crimson will have to wait until Feb. 10 to take on Yale in a championship rematch.

“Usually in the beginning of the season we don’t play any of the tougher schools,” Sobhy said. “That being said, we don’t take any school lightly. We’ll go in there and put 100% effort into [every game].”

Though the competition may not be the stiffest Harvard will face, the team is ready to get its first match of the season underway at the round-robin tournament this weekend.

“We’ve been training for two months now,” said Mumanachit. “We are just really excited for the season to start.”
