With Adam Dixon, Cliff Sheehan, Kim Stevens, and Steve Ezeji-Okoye all sitting out to save themselves for the Heps, the men's version of the GBCs became a battle between defending champion Boston University and Northeastern, which Harvard beat last week in dual meets. The Terriers emerged victorious with a total of 106 points while Northeastern finished right behind with 102 and the Crimson finished a distant third with a total...
