...matches within in a few days of each other. Last weekend, Harvard played Ivy League rivals Penn and Princeton in back-to-back matches. The Crimson has had very little time to recuperate before the national championships. Another problem that has hurt the team is lack of a veteran core. The Crimson graduated seven seniors and the squad is very young this season. “We may have been lacking experience,” Endresen said. “But that the great thing is we aren’t graduating anyone this year.” Harvard...

...mentally we were weaker than Yale.” The Crimson is also a comparatively young team, which has been a problem for Harvard all season. Its starting lineup is composed of four freshmen: J. Reed Endresen, Richard Hill, Eliot Buchanan, and Shawn Low. Harvard does not have a core of veterans that it has had in years past. “Having such a young team definitely effects us a lot,” DiSesa said. “When we get into big matches we don’t have as much experience as we need...
