LIVE UPDATES: Pro-Palestine Protesters Begin Encampment in Harvard Yard
Freshman Lena Litvak of the Harvard women’s tennis team made quite an impression at the Cissie Leary Memorial Invitational, held this weekend at the University of Pennsylvania.
Litvak emerged as the tournament’s champion both in singles play and also when paired with junior Stephanie Schnitter in doubles competition.
Litvak cruised to the singles championship, easily besting Columbia’s Milena Kachar 6-1, 6-2.
In doubles play, Litvak and Schnitter took on Yulia Rivelis and Julia Koulbitskaya, representing host Penn. Schnitter and Litvak took the victory, 8-5.
Other Crimson representatives did not fare quite so well. While Schnitter advanced several rounds in her quest for the singles crown, teammates Cat Stewart and Laura Peterzan, both sophomores, failed to advance beyond their first matches, as did senior Preethi Mukundan.
Freshman Elizabeth Brook was able to win one match before succumbing to Arizona’s Natalia Toporowska.
