So we’re pleased with the way we did.” With a powerful one-two punch of freshman Lily Lorentzen and junior Kyla Grigg, Harvard was a contender for both the Ivy and national titles throughout the season. The Crimson was ranked No. 2 for most of the year, breezing through the lighter half of the schedule with ease. After intersession, however, Harvard faced a murderer?...
