Despite the losses to Trinity, the Crimson's season was largely successful.

Harvard racked up its seventh straight Ivy title under Doyle's command, finishing the conference schedule with a 9-0 win over Yale on Feb. 17 that clinched the crown.

The team also lost just four individual matches out of 54 in Ivy play, dropping one to Dartmouth and three to Princeton.

Besides the regular-season loss to Trinity, the Crimson posted 8-1 wins over Navy, Williams and Amherst, and blanked MIT, Brown, Cornell, Penn and Yale during the regular season.

"We were very pleased with how we competed against our other top competitors, Princeton and Yale," Wyant said.

Doyle's resignation comes after a seven-year run at the helm of the most successful program in Harvard athletics.

In his seven seasons as coach of the Crimson, Doyle led the squad to an incredible 93-4 overall record.

"We were upset when we found out, but we're trying to look at it as an opportunity for change, and change isn't necessarily a bad thing," junior Eric Lauer said. "We just hope that whoever we get as our next coach can have a similar kind of relationship with us as [Doyle] did."

Doyle said he wanted to relocate his family to New Orleans, and that played a major role in his decision to leave Harvard.

A 1985 graduate of Trinity College, Doyle was a four-time All-American. He captained his team to a third-place national showing as a junior and a second-place finish as a senior. While at Trinity, Doyle was named the school's top male senior athlete.

"I'm dying to know [who Doyle's replacement will be]," Wyant said. "It's pretty much top secret."

The Crimson will return all of its players, except one, senior Dave Beitchman, who usually played in the No. 8 slot.

Although a new coach has not been named, the team should be set for the future with a strong recruiting class.

"The younger brother of our No. 1, Deepak Abraham, will play in the top half of the lineup, as will Dylan Patterson, an incoming freshman from Brooklyn," Wyant said.

Patterson is a graduate of New York's Regis High School.

With the infusion of new blood, the Crimson's lineup will be even stronger next year. Maybe then Harvard can show that Trinity should be the Bantamweights, and not the Bantams.
