Next competing in the Princeton and Elite Six 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.
