The Roberts sisters led the parade, recording the Crimson's first two points quickly and decisively, as the women's tennis team shellacked the Eagles of B.C., 8-1, yesterday afternoon at Palmer Dixon.
Martha Roberts, Harvard's top gun, tamed Kathy Lynch with a powerful first service and an aggressive return of serve. Roberts yielded only four games as she raced to a 6-1, 6-3 victory.
Roberts commented that she played "just great." "Everything was working, my volley was strong, my first serves went in--it was really fun," she added.
Sally Roberts, playing at number four, was the first woman off the courts, demolishing her opponent Kristin Fullam 6-0, 7-5.
Harvard swept the doubles competition as the second and third teams turned in surprisingly strong performances. The combo of Roberts and Roberts, ranked number one in Massachusetts, utilized the lob to edge Lynch and Fullam 7-6, 6-4.
