Then, to add stale icing to an already unsavory cake, around this time last year, Yale devastated Crimson optimism by ripping sole possession of the top spot in the Ivy standings out of its grasp.“I think this is a very emotionally charged weekend,” co-captain Niki Finelli said.” The feeling of last year really motivates us.”This weekend, the squad has a shot at redemption...
