...division title, it seemed Harvard would have to win the rest of its matches. Motivated by the task ahead, the Crimson picked up seven straight victories. The two most impressive wins came against eventual Hay champion East Stroudsburg (ESU), as Harvard—the only squad to defeat the Warriors in a league contest all year—cruised to 3-1 wins in both matches. “Of all the teams in the league, we probably match up best with East Stroudsburg,” Ridolfi said. “Both our strengths are through the middle...
...Hagan threw three interceptions for the second week in a row while passing for only 95 yards. Yet despite some questions, O’Hagan remained in the starting role. The team turned the ball over five times in the Cornell loss, its first Ivy defeat since 2003 and first to the Big Red since 2000.“Nobody was clicking,” captain Erik Grimm said. “We couldn’t really point fingers in one direction and say ‘the defense needed to do this, the offense needed to do that...
...Frozen Eight. Freshman Sarah Wilson netted two of her 13 goals on the season in the contest and earned tournament MVP honors. Classmate Jenny Brine was tops for rookies on the team with 18 goals.

...courts at the end of February. The team was confident in its ability to take down the two-time defending champion Bulldogs. But it was third-ranked Trinity that tripped up the Crimson’s undefeated stretch. On Feb. 4, Trinity surprised visiting Harvard with a 6-3 defeat in Hartford.

The setback, however, proved key in preparation for the Crimson’s road match at Yale. Both Bantam and Bulldog matches always draw noisy...
...Harvard desperately needed to snap out of its funk, and the team did so the following weekend by securing an impressive 5-2 victory over the Quakers (18-6, 6-1), who rode into the contest on a 12-match winning streak. The Crimson then went on to defeat Princeton and Yale in two 4-3 matches before losing to Brown. Harvard closed out its season with a win against Dartmouth. In early May, Kumar and freshman Sasha Ermakov earned a bid to the NCAA Doubles Championship, but were ousted in the first round. The duo finished the season...
