CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's tennis team was victorious over Maryland, 6-1, and Marist, 4-0, Saturday at the Murr Center. With the wins, the Crimson improves to 5-4.
In doubles play against Maryland, Harvard was unlucky as the Terrapins won the point with its No. 2 and 3 pairs. Harvard bounced back, however, and was able to sweep Maryland in all six singles matches. June Lee lost in the first set to Arnelle Sullivan, 6-7(8), in the No. 1 position but came back with set scores of 7-6(1), 11-9 to capture the victory. Nikki Kallenberg and Sabrina Xiong tallied their triumphs in two sets with scores of 6-3, 6-1 and 6-2, 6-1, respectively. Annika Ringblom, in the No. 3 position, beat Nataliya Bredikhina with set scores of 6-3, 5-7, 6-2, while teammate Erica Oosterhout surpassed Kristina Hovsepyan 4-6,6-2,7-6(2). The Crimson's Amy He rounded out the singles wins with scores of 6-0, 5-7, 6-4.
The evening match against Marist saw a quicker, 4-0 outcome where the Crimson took two-of-three doubles matches. Ringblom and Xiong defeated Karlene Pang and Chloe Lant with a score of 6-3, while Lee and Isabel Jasper topped Melissa Carlay and Lisa Ventimiglia, 6-4.
The Crimson's No. 1, 4 and 6 singles players secured the shutout in two sets apiece. Kallenberg tallied her second singles win of the day against Pang, 6-3, 6-1, while He also recorded her second singles victory by blanking Arielle Shulman, 6-0, 6-2. Danielle Mirda rounded out the Crimson's singles players with her 6-2, 6-0 defeat of Nikki Rohan.
The Crimson travels to Virginia for matches against No. 39 William and Mary on Saturday, Feb. 27 at 1:30 p.m. and No. 60 Old Dominion on Sunday, Feb. 28 at 11:00 a.m.
