The Harvard women’s tennis team tripped at the finish line yesterday, falling just short of beating Pacific in Stockton, Calif. The match, which the Crimson (1-10) eventually lost, 4-3, featured three Harvard leads and three ties.
The deciding match was at No. 5 singles, where senior Julia Forgie was bested by Tigers freshman Sasha Fisher, 4-6, 6-2, 6-1, to break a 3-3 stalemate.
The day started out well for Harvard, which won the opening doubles point. At the No. 1 spot, sophomore Beier Ko and freshman Lena Litvak beat Pacific’s Fisher and Jolanta Twarowska, 8-4, and senior Preethi Mukundan and freshman Elizabeth Brook captured the deciding match at No. 2 doubles, 8-6.
In singles action, the Crimson secured straight-set wins in the No. 2 and No. 3 singles matches from Litvak (7-5, 6-4) and Mukundan (6-2, 6-0), respectively. Twarowska toppled Ko, 6-4, 6-2, in the top spot, and notched wins at the bottom three positions as well. Brook dropped a tight contest at No. 4, 6-2, 2-6, 6-1, and junior Vilsa Curto, also a Crimson editor, was rolled over at No. 6, 6-2, 6-0.
Harvard will try to bounce back from the disappointing loss on Friday when it faces UC Davis.
