...next major difference between this year and last is the number of teams still in the race. Cornell was the last team standing in the way of Penn and its NCAA berth last season, and while the Big Red is once again alive, two games back of the Quakers in the loss column, the squad is joined by Princeton and Harvard, nipping at Penn’s heels. While it is entirely possible that Penn could be up three games on all three of those teams by Sunday, it will take a more complicated chain of events (specifically Cornell splitting...
...point. Freshman Andrew Flanagan (157 lbs.) won his first two matches Thursday, which included a 3-1 decision against Sherwood Fendrick of Sacred Heart and a pin of ninth seeded Travis Picard (unattached). However, an 8-4 loss to eighth seeded Matt Kocher (unattached) cost Flanagan a quarterfinal berth, and a 5-3 loss to Andy Keller of Central Michigan ended his day. Tri-captain Mike Baria (165 lbs.) lost his first match to top-seeded Travis Paulson of Iowa State, but recovered to win his next two bouts by decision.

Since Penn had the best record against the other two, it looked on as the Bulldogs downed Princeton in the first round of the playoff for the tourney berth. But the Quakers then beat Yale 77-58 in Easton, Pa. to quell the best charge that the six non-P’s have mustered since the Big Red tourney appearance...
While Harvard has never won the Ivy title, it has participated in the NCAA tournament. After posting a 19-1 regular season mark—still the school record for most wins in a season—during the 1945-46 campaign, the Crimson earned a berth in the tourney, but lost both of its contests to Ohio State...
