Harvard (3-11, 1-0 Ivy) wasted no time in seeing its resolutions through on the court, and began the year in an unfamiliar position: celebrating at midcourt. After rallying from 16 points down, the Crimson posted a thrilling 71-68 victory over two-time defending Ivy champion Dartmouth (4-9, 0-1) Saturday at Leede Arena.In a Crimson season that has featured primarily lopsided decisions—most resulting in losses—Saturday?...
