All told, Harvard converted a miserable start into an exciting season and answered some big question marks on offense. However, next season will bring new questions for the defense, as it loses its three talented seniors.
Furthermore, Harvard will also have a new head coach as Locker resigned after the season. Citing a desire to pursue other opportunities, the man who guided the team to the NCAA tournament in 1994 and 1996 stepped down from his position.
Still, the Crimson has to be satisfied with its second winning season in three years and be optimistic about its future for next year.
"We'll do all right next season," Dupuis said. "We have a quite few promising freshmen and they'll keep getting better."
