...Crimson knew that it had to win all of them. However, only injured captain Supriya Balsekar was able to succeed. Playing down in the No. 7 spot, the senior came out with a convincing three game victory in which she only dropped three points. Facing the Bulldogs’ Miranda Ranieri, perhaps the top college player in the country, Harvard freshman No. 1 June Tiong managed to win a game, but still came out on the wrong end, losing 9-5, 4-9, 9-4, 9-5. Sophomore Johanna Synder won her first game...
