The 2002-03 team had a strong core of upperclassmen, led by captain Brady Merchant, Pat Harvey and Elliot Prasse-Freeman, who expected to lead Harvard into competition for the league title, much as captain Matt Stehle, Brian Cusworth and Mike Beal formed the nucleus of the 2005-06 team, the preseason pick to finish second in the league. Both squads got off to strong starts, going 8-5 in non-conference play...
