NEW HAVEN, Conn. - For the fifth-straight season, at least a share of the Ivy League title will belong to the Harvard Crimson. The nation's top-ranked team clinched a share of the crown on Sunday with a 9-0 victory over the No. 4 Yale Bulldogs. The Crimson's (13-0, 6-0 Ivy) sixth shutout of the season powered it to its 11th-straight victory over its Ivy League foe. 

The match of the night belonged to Maddie Chai, who outscored her opponent 33-12 on her way to a convincing 3-0 win at the sixth position. Hannah Craig and Eleonore Evans kept their perfect seasons alive, picking up 3-0 and 3-1 victories, respectively.

At the top of the ladder, Amelia Henley led the way with a 3-0 (33-14) victory at the second pairing. Gina Kennedy, Hana Moataz and Amina Yousry all picked up wins to bring the Crimson total to nine.
