The team is on a four-match winning streak, highlighted by a 4-1 victory over UMass-Amherst. Standout players include junior Kavya Karra, with impressive singles and doubles records, and Stephanie Yakoff, ranked No. 80 nationally in singles.

By the Numbers
  • Harvard is currently 8-5 this season and on a four-match winning streak.
  • Kavya Karra holds a 14-5 singles record and 19-4 in doubles this season.
Yes, But

Despite recent success, the matches against Florida Gulf Coast and Florida Atlantic present challenges, as they have not faced these teams recently, and past performance may not guarantee victory.

State of Play
  • Harvard has not played since defeating UMass-Amherst on March 7.
  • This will be Harvard’s second match against Florida Gulf Coast and their first against Florida Atlantic.
What's Next

After their matches in Florida, Harvard will prepare to face Dartmouth on March 29 to begin their pursuit of a second consecutive Ivy League Championship.

Bottom Line

Harvard women's tennis aims to maintain momentum in Florida, with strong individual performances critical as they shift focus to conference play after this trip.
