...20th-ranked Harvard men’s swimming and diving team traveled to the 2009 Ivy League Championships at Princeton’s DeNunzio Pool this past weekend to defend its title as Ivy League Champions. They would face tough competition from the hometown Tigers, and despite strong performances from the Crimson, Harvard would have to settle for second place. Crimson junior swimmer Alex Meyer, certainly exhausted by the final stretch of the long and grueling men’s 1650-meter freestyle, pushed past his limits in order to out-touch his main opponent, Princeton sophomore Patrick Briggs, edging...
...night. But not for the Crimson.For the first time in Harvard’s history, the men’s hockey team faced back-to-back shutout losses to a collegiate opponent on Friday and Saturday night at Bright Arena. In the first-round series of the ECAC Hockey Championship, No. 12-seed Brown (5-21-5) handed the fifth-seeded Harvard (9-16-6) two tight season-ending loses.

...years ago, the Schmen began their Crimson careers with a dream season. Led that spring by the budding talent of Lauren Murphy, the 2007 Ivy League Rookie of the Year, Harvard captured the Ivy crown by sweeping Penn, 4-0 and 4-2, in the championship series. Ever since then, the Crimson seven has set high expectations for themselves. The following year, they were back in the championship game, but this time around, Harvard fell to Princeton. This didn’t sit quite well with the Schmen, who are seeking redemption this year. “I couldn?...
