...defending Ivy League champion and the highest nationally ranked team in the Ancient Eight at the start of the season, the Harvard men’s soccer team (9-3-2, 2-2-0 Ivy) has been playing with a target on its back from the beginning.

The Crimson will travel to New York City’s Van Cortlandt Park to compete tomorrow morning in the 31st annual Heptagonal Championship, which serves as the championship race for the Ivy League. Last year, the Harvard women finished a disappointing eighth, nearly 200 points behind champion Princeton. But a lot has changed for the Crimson in the last year, and most of that is due to coach Jason Saretsky’s first recruiting class. “They’ve had a tremendous impact in increasing the talent level and depth of our team...
