These high-ranking opponents gave Harvard the tests needed to diagnose their problems in order to build on last season. “The tournament bodes well for us this season,” sophomore Mac McAnulty said. “Ole Miss was top-ranking last year and we played well against them. We showed some skills in doubles...
