...Tournament at Bucknell, Harvard came out of the tournaments with a 5-6 record, including two frustrating losses to Princeton. Regular season play occurred mostly in Connecticut, New York and California. On the West Coast, the Crimson experienced its toughest loss, a 20-2 rout by then-No. 1 Stanford, and greatest victory at the time–a 17-10 triumph over Cal State Monterey Bay. Harvard returned to the East Coast to compete in the Northern Division Championships, in which the Crimson fell to Hartwick and Brown before crushing Utica and Connecticut College. The two latter teams were...
