After winning the first set, freshman No. 4 Emily Park dropped the second set, 7-9, but rallied to win the final two convincingly, 9-3, 9-1, to earn the 3-1 victory. Sophomore Alexandra Zindman dropped a tight third set, 8-10, but won a close-fought fourth set, 9-6, to hold on to win the match at No. 8, 3-1. Harvard’s top flights continued to overwhelm their opponents. No. 2 freshman Nirasha Guruge moved to 5-0 on the season after a solid...
