"I've been really sore, but have been doing much better this week," Rankin said. "I definitely plan on playing, and maybe even getting in more time."
The losses to Penn and Princeton were frustrating but not season-ending. Harvard's Ivy title hopes were considerably diminished, but not necessarily obliterated.
"We want to move ourselves up in the rankings in the league," Gilmore said. "But we have to focus on what we can do, not what we could have done."
For now, winning the title is probably not the most pressing concern.
"We're not going to get wrapped up in what we need to do for the future," Hill said. "That's the best way for us to approach the remainder of the season."
This weekend will be Harvard's critical opportunity to bounce back.
"We're looking forward to getting back on the winning track," Grancio said. "We're getting back to work, back to what got us twelve wins this season."
