The Crimson blew any chance it had at the Ivy League title by losing four-straight games to Brown two weekends ago. But Harvard proved its resilient character this past weekend against the Rolfe Division’s best. The Crimson bounced back from Game 1 blowouts to beat Dartmouth in the nightcaps of each doubleheader.
