One of the best Harvard men's water polo team in recent memory is about to play a team that no one can remember beating.

Tomorrow, the Crimson (13-10, 9-4 CWPA) will host its arch-rival, Brown, in the Northern Division Championships for a shot at qualifying for the Eastern Division Championships. All Harvard has to do is beat Brown to end its long losing streak and advance in the playoffs.

"This is the biggest game of the year," captain Robinson Jacobs said. "The Bears have been our biggest rivals and in my four years playing we have never seemed to beat them."

That held true again this year, when Brown defeated Harvard 12-10 during a rocky opening to the Crimson season.

Harvard impressively turned it around after that defeat, going 13-7.

The Crimson had a blur of wins as it took the Northern League Division and wiped the table with Boston College last Friday, 10-1. The Eagles were one of the teams it lost to in the beginning of the season, 7-6.

"The team's doing very well, seeing the whole pool and all aspects of the game," said Harvard Coach Jim Floerchinger after the game. "They're making good shots and playing good defense. It's 180 degree change from the beginning of the season."

The change could be attributed what Floerchinger calls "one of the best turnaround in attitude" he has ever seen. The dynamics of the team have never been this good.
