This mentality was undoubtedly a huge asset in the group’s third match against Dartmouth. Shouting malicious and chauvinistic jabs, the Big Green fans berated the Crimson athletes. The behavior even elicited an apology from Dartmouth president Jim Yong Kim to Harvard president Drew Gilpin Faust.
In its fifth match, the squad had to again prepare itself mentally for the toughest competition yet against Trinity. Down in Hartford, Conn., the team pulled out a grueling 7-2 victory.
In the second half of the season, Harvard’s opponents all occupied the top 10 of the national rankings—stiff competition, no doubt. The most anticipated matchup, though, was the one against Princeton.
“They beat us in the national final last year [5-4], and nobody on the team had ever beaten Princeton,” freshman Laura Gemmell said.
Later at the CSA National Championships in New Haven, Conn., the team entered with a 9-0 record and a target on its back as the top seed. Over the weekend, Harvard beat Williams, Yale, and finally Penn to win the national title amidst excitement and tears.
