ATLANTA — The 37th-ranked Georgia Tech women’s tennis team captured its sixth-straight dual match win of the young season with a 5-2 victory over 39th-ranked Harvard on Sunday afternoon.
The Yellow Jackets (6-1) opened the match by capturing two of the three doubles matches to claim the first point of the match.

In singles play, the Jackets continued to roll, winning four of six matches en route to the win.
