But what Harvard is really looking for is two victories over Princeton, the Ivy League champions for the past ten years, this season--a goal that may seem daunting but is not so far out of the Crimson's reach.
With an influx of talented recruits, Yale will also most likely challenge Harvard. Last year, the Crimson beat the Bulldogs in both games and hopes to do the same in 1993.
"The League is getting stronger," sophomore Danielle Belanger said. "It's very competitive, but we have a chance to do quite well."
If Harvard's indoor scrimmage against Boston College Monday night is indicative of the season, Belanger's predictions are right on the money.
"We played awesome," Meader said. "There were no weaknesses on our team. We were very solid.
"We're going to be surprising in the Ivy League this year!"
