Included in this streak was a decisive 28-13 win over Cornell-the first Crimson victory over the Big Red in seventeen years. This huge win put Harvard in the driver's seat for a share of the Ivy-League title. A solid victory over Brown then sealed this claim to the title, making this the Ivy champions of Harvard wrestling.
