Many of the same individuals shined again for the Crimson, as Zesiger defeated all comers in the 100-yard and 200-yard backstroke events, Steffenson triumphed the 200-yard freestyle and Kory finished first in the 500-freestyle and 400-individual medley.

Kelly won the 100-yard butterfly in 59.3 seconds, and freshman Sarah Durkin took the 100-yard breaststroke in 1:12.2 seconds.

Harvard Coach Maura Scalise stressed the contributions of some unsung freshmen.

"It's a really difficult transition for many of them, having to suddenly swim at the college level," she said. "I was really pleased that they swam as well as they did, in both meets."

Harvard's next test will be when it hosts the Harvard Invitiational Tournament in early December. During the tournament, the Crimson will swim against strong squads like Syracuse, Indiana and Villanova.

But after such a successful weekend, Scalise isn't afraid to raise expectations about the youthful Crimson.

"We can definitely win Ivy and Easterns again," she promised.
