The Tigers (10-9, 4-1) arrive with not only talent, but also experience, having finished second in the league last season...
...Crimson has the offensive firepower to match Princeton and Penn’s explosiveness—its points scored are highest in the league behind the Tigers’. But to win each game, it will need to keep the turnovers down and the defense disciplined. If Harvard can accomplish those feats, it will enter the second half of the season with the league’s highest marks...
