Everything seems to exist in its own silo until a rising whoosh comes along and the instruments merge into a huge harmonious collision.

The Crimson was able to get back on track when it faced conference opponent Penn, notching a 6-3 victory and upping its league record to 4-0. After the squad’s undefeated streak in its Ivy matchups, the Crimson hoped to be in contention to win the league title. But Harvard failed to maintain its momentum...
