...match on April 5. “Our goal has been to be the most improved Ivy League team, and thus far I think we’ve accomplished that goal.” In its next match, Harvard took a step back, falling, 5-2, to No. 46 Princeton.

We had to leave the field, but in the locker room the excitement and energy...
...defend its title this year. Not only did Harvard respond by topping the Ivy League ranks for the second- consecutive year, the Crimson did so in unprecedented fashion, winning all but one of its tournaments along the way. Harvard placed second in its lone defeat of the year to Princeton, but quickly avenged the lone blemish on its schedule by besting the Tigers a week later at the Ivy League Championships. While there were likely many factors contributing to such a successful season for the Crimson, none was more important than the extra practice many team members put in throughout...
