...wrenching 1-0 loss to Albany the next day to conclude its season. The two tournament losses could not overshadow one of the team’s best seasons ever. “We are really satisfied with the season we had,” said captain second baseman Julia Kidder. “We won the Ivy League, which was our goal since September.” Kidder was one of the main reasons for the team’s success. Batting either first or second for most of the season, the senior finished third on the team...
...then came the roadblocks. Junior foil fencer Emily Cross—the two-time Junior World Champion—left to train for the Olympics, never again to fence wearing Crimson. Junior Carolyn Wright decided to go abroad. A battle with leukemia sidelined men’s co-captain foilist Sam Cross. Down two foilists and a saber fencer, Harvard set out to defend its title while taking on tougher competition. In the Ivy League, Penn was better, and so was Columbia.

...Second Team. Sure, the defense was there. Junior Jeff Stoeckel, replacing sure-handed shortstop Morgan Brown ’06, committed just four errors in 147 opportunities and garnered a league honorable mention.

After losing two big bats in Josh Klimkiewicz ’06 and Lance...
...best finish of the season. Despite finishing in the bottom half of the field in six tournaments, the Crimson regarded this year as laying the groundwork for future success. “Significant improvement and gaining experience was what this season was all about,” captain Tom Hegge said. Throughout the fall season, Harvard introduced five freshmen to the athletic, academic, and social challenges of college golf. From the start, the team called on them to produce results. Freshmen Danny Mayer and Greg Shuman competed for the Crimson in all five fall tournaments, and freshman Peter Singh made...
