...back. Sheepishly. Apparently, this is going to be a regular gig. So I’m following up incorrect with unpopular. Now, there’s no grace period, because although it’s still September, this is likely the most important weekend of the Ivy slate, ripe with evenly-matched rivalry games. The reigning league champion (Brown) and the squad it unseated (Harvard) meet in their annual early-autumn thriller. And the other member of the Ivies’ triumvirate, Penn, clashes with local rival Villanova in a crucial test of just how much it has recovered from...
...brief glance, UPenn has the advantage of playing both of its main rivals at home in the friendly confines of Rhodes Field. Both Harvard and the Bears will make the long road trip down to Pennsylvania in what will serve almost as bookends to the Quakers’ Ivy slate.

Playing in its final tune-up before starting its Ivy League slate against Dartmouth on Friday, the Harvard women’s volleyball team dropped a close five-framer to New Hampshire (UNH) last night at Lundholm Gym in Durham, N.H.

...time for a young Harvard team to work out any last pre-Ivy kinks, today’s game against a top twenty-five team would be it.

This weekend’s match-up will answer a lot of questions about how prepared the Crimson is to make a run at the league title. First-year players will play a big part in answering those questions. With...
...Crimson travels tonight to Durham, N.H., to take on New Hampshire (UNH) at Lundholm Gym. The Wildcats limp into tonight’s contest with a 2-10 record. For Harvard, the match will offer a final opportunity to hone its tactics before kicking off its Ivy League slate Friday night against Dartmouth. After losing to all three of the opponents it faced at the San Jose State Hyatt Invitational this past weekend, a win against UNH would give the Crimson some momentum going into the match against the Big Green. Junior co-captain Suzie Trimble and senior Katie Turley...
