Lehigh took top honors in the team competition by winning three weight classes and qualifying five wrestlers for the NCAAs.
Syracuse beat out Navy for second place, but both squads advanced four wrestlers to the NCAAs.
Out of the Ivy League schools, Cornell, Penn and Brown took fourth through sixth overall. Columbia finished eighth and the Crimson edged out Princeton by 7.5 points to avoid the EIWA tournament cellar.
The tournament marked the end of the Crimson's first season under coach Jay Weiss--a difficult one, but one that did get the Harvard wrestling rebuilding program off to good start.
As the tournament's results show, the Crimson had a strong freshman contingent this year--one that could pave the way to a brighter future for Harvard wrestling.
"I have a quote on my desk by Saad, a Persian poet, that kept us going the whole year," Weiss said. "Have patience. All things are difficult before easy.'"
Next season the Crimson is hoping it gets a little easier, if not more successful.
