...Harvard’s archrival in women’s water polo is Brown, and the Crimson had fallen to its neighbors from the south the first three times they had met that season. But none of those games were as important as this one, taking place at the semifinals of the College Water Polo Association Northern Division Championships in Harvard’s own pool. The Crimson had to win to guarantee itself a spot at the Eastern Championships the next week, and if tensions were not high enough, Harvard had to live down losing its previous three meetings...
...Upsets like water polo’s victory over Brown are thrilling, but not if you are rooting for the favorite. Instead, there can be just as much beauty in watching a team you support and expect to win go out and show its superior talent in bringing home victory. That is what the softball players did on their home field in the Ivy League Championship against the Quakers. Shelly Madick ’08 threw a no-hitter in the first game, then got the save in the second, shutting Penn down when it had the winning...

After the women’s squad’s one-year hiatus from the national championship, the Crimson’s co-ed and women’s teams qualified for all three of their national affairs, with the contests taking place in the windy waters of San Francisco, Calif. “It is our goal to qualify for all three of the national championships every year,” senior skipper Jon Garrity said.

The Crimson witnessed a slight decline this season as compared to last year, putting forth a 10-14 record after breaking even at 12-12 in 2008. Despite the slight difference in records...
...Harvard men’s water polo team showed marked improvement through the 2008 season, but the Crimson could not manage to demonstrate its growth in the win column. The young squad struggled often in its fall campaign, amassing a 5-12 (3-5 ECAC) record before ending the season with a sixth-place finish at the Northern Division Championships at MIT in November. “We’re definitely not satisfied with the outcome this past season,” junior Egan Atkinson said, referring to the regression in the team’s record following...
