Just days prior to the Crimson’s Sept. 30 showdown with Lehigh in Bethlehem, Pa., Harvard had a glaring question to answer: who would be its quarterback? With junior Chris Pizzotti nursing an injured knee and sophomore Jeff Witt out with an injured shoulder, the eventual surprise start by Pizzotti was a triumphant comeback in the early stages of the junior’s career as a starter. But as it turns out, it wasn’t even the best comeback of the afternoon. That honor went to the collective Crimson squad, a team that reached deep...
...Class of 2007 was led by two-time All-American Noelle Bassi who, despite struggling with knee and back injuries all year, won a third straight Ivy League title in the 200 butterfly and qualified for her fourth NCAA Championships.

...Butler (197 lbs.), and freshman Frankie Colletta (165 lbs.) made solid contributions in the middle weights. The Crimson had a hard time in dual meets partly because of serious injuries to its top wrestlers. Preston, who took the first semester off, was set back by a knee injury, but especially devastating were Ogunwole’s triceps tear in January and sophomore Andrew Flanagan’s injury a month later that also knocked him out for the remainder of the season. Harvard finished with a 5-8-1 dual meet record, and tied for fourth in the Ivies with...
...team’s first five games for an undisclosed reason, forcing junior Chris Pizzotti to assume the starting role for the first time in his injury-plagued career.Pizzotti performed well in the team’s opener, a decisive 31-14 win over Holy Cross. But a knee injury knocked Pizzotti out of the game just over a quarter in, and sophomore Jeff Witt had to finish the rest of the game as well as start in Harvard’s next contest, the Ivy League opener at Brown.Witt once again performed admirably in a 38-21 victory...
