...right as Ivy League play began in early January. Perhaps it was the new year and the fresh beginnings, but the Crimson looked nothing like the team that played only a few days before.Beginning with Dartmouth Jan. 2, Harvard steamrolled through the Ancient Eight and lost just a single contest, to Yale, in conference play.The Crimson clinched a share of the Ivy title after defeating Princeton on Feb. 24 and went on to claim the title outright after outlasting Cornell one week later. After beginning the season so shakily, Harvard was now putting on its dancing shoes. The Crimson?...
...string of losses marked the second consecutive season in which the Crimson suffered a 10-game skid and notched an overall record below .500. As in the 2005 season, Harvard was again badgered by one-goal losses in 2006, all five of which were suffered during the first 10 contests. Among those losses were a 1-0 loss to No. 10 Connecticut and a 2-1 defeat at the hands of No. 15 Providence, two of the four ranked opponents the Crimson faced this season. Even though Harvard was the last Ivy League team to earn a win, recording...
...matchups of the season, sweeping through four teams by identical 9-0 scores. Following the easy wins, the then-No. 2 Crimson hosted squash powerhouse Trinity, nine-time winners of the national title. In the top-two showdown, the intensity was high on both sides, and with the contest being played at the Murr Center, Harvard supporters came out in droves. This season’s clash developed much differently than last year’s 8-1 decision in favor of the Bantams. Harvard proved it had improved, keeping the match close throughout. The match seesawed back and forth...
...opener, a decisive 31-14 win over Holy Cross. But a knee injury knocked Pizzotti out of the game just over a quarter in, and sophomore Jeff Witt had to finish the rest of the game as well as start in Harvard’s next contest, the Ivy League opener at Brown.Witt once again performed admirably in a 38-21 victory in Providence, R.I., but the game’s real story was the performance of Dawson. He rushed for a season-high 181 yards on just 25 carries and scored three times, helping divert attention from the shoulder...
...five matches Harvard played there, it came away with only one victory, a 9-3 decision over Occidental College. With the disappointing road trip fresh in their minds, the men returned to Cambridge to face off against Ivy League rival Brown. In its final home game and regular-season contest, the Crimson displayed spectacular endurance and teamwork. Harvard, as it had many times before, drew its strength from its captain, Garcia. Tied at seven goals in the third overtime and with both teams understandably worn, Garcia found the net with 54 seconds remaining in the period to close...
