...tennis, and those matches are taking their toll on everyone,” co-captain Laura Peterzan said. “People have gotten injured and had to pull out [this weekend].” Due to the overwhelming number of setbacks, only three Crimson players—freshmen Samantha Gridley, Holly Cao, and Camille Jania—were given spots in the top flight. In her first match, Gridley was blown away 6-0, 6-1 by Yale’s Janet Kim, the eventual tournament champion. Unable to find her rhythm, Gridley dropped two more matches...

The signs in the offseason and early going in 2008 all point to upward movement in the standings for Harvard. Last year’s talented freshmen and sophomores are a year older and wiser, and Leone recruited a solid crop of rookies—highlighted by early scoring leader Melanie Baskind (three goals, two assists)—to complement the core already in place.

In fact, run-ins like this have unquestionably been happening at Harvard since 1636, when the first hobbledehoy freshmen putzed around the Yard, chewing on hardtack and trying to make friends with the other budding clergymen. And they’re still happening, (albeit with a deepened knowledge of technology). This year, as Hunter Bennett concentrates on eating his third piece of fried dough and saving the pin number...
