Picture a pack of playing cards sorted into suits. Shuffle the cards together and deal them out into new piles, but imagine that cards with similar affinities will gravitate toward each other. The original suits will exert some pull, but cards of like denominations might also attract one another. Perhaps face cards will form a group, or even red-card black-card societies. If subtle affinities like these are allowed to play a role during the deal, what is the likelihood that you’ll deal out the original suits...

Picked in the preseason to finish in the middle of the Ancient Eight pack, the Harvard women’s tennis team rose above expectations in 2009, and captured the 18th Ivy League Championship in the program’s 35-year history. After a handful of preseason contests, the Crimson (13-8, 6-1 Ivy), ranked No. 66 in the nation by the ITA at the end of the season, battered Columbia, 6-1, and Cornell, 7-0, in the first Ivy weekend. “I think we are playing the best at this moment...
