KEY QUOTE: "Tough loss today," said head coach Jamie Hunt. "A lot of credit to Harvard. They are a good team especially indoors. I'm very proud of how we competed though. We had our opportunities in doubles and in the singles matches we lost, and I know we will learn from where we fell short. I'm excited to see how we attack our match tomorrow against either UCLA or Texas A&M"
