Harvard women's tennis (10-8, 0-3 Ivy) faces a crucial weekend with matches against Brown (14-6, 1-2 Ivy) and No. 58 Yale (15-3, 2-1 Ivy). The Crimson hosts Brown on April 10 before traveling to Yale on April 12. Following last weekend's losses to Princeton and Penn, where they narrowly missed victories, the team is eager to secure wins. Key players include Kavya Karra and Stephanie Yakoff, who have set program records this season.

By the Numbers
  • Kavya Karra has the most single wins (19) and double wins (24) in Harvard history for the season since at least 2009.
  • Harvard is 41-14 all-time against Brown and 34-25 against Yale.
Yes, But

Despite strong individual performances, the Crimson's overall Ivy League record is concerning, as they seek to improve their standings against tough competitors.

State of Play
  • Harvard is looking to bounce back from recent close losses, especially a narrow 4-3 defeat to Brown earlier this season.
  • The team's upcoming matches are critical for boosting their Ivy League position before the regular season concludes.
What's Next

After competing against Brown and Yale, Harvard will conclude its regular season with home matches against Columbia and Cornell on April 18 and 19.

Bottom Line

Harvard needs to capitalize on this weekend's matches to regain momentum and finish the season strong, leveraging their historical advantages against both Brown and Yale.
