Yet, the big performance of the day came from co-captain Dave Cromwell, who set a pool record in the 200-yard backstroke. “After our loss to Columbia earlier in the year...

At the Northern Championships, Harvard clinched a spot at Easterns by beating Iona 11-10 in double overtime in the third-place game. At Easterns the Crimson finished seventh, beating the Gaels again...
...hitters, Kaego Ogbechie—a young Harvard squad boasting just one senior displayed a lot of potential but struggled due to inexperience. Although the Crimson kicked off its season by capturing the New England Challenge title, Harvard won only one more match the rest of the season to finish with a 3-21 record—a far cry from last year’s 15-victory showing. “When we first started losing a couple of matches, it was tough for everyone,” said rising junior outside hitter and incoming co-captain Laura Mahon...
