McConnell gave the Crimson another victory in the 400 medley relay, along with Murphy, O'Beirne and junior backstroker Angie Peluse.
The victory over the Eagles puts the Crimson halfway through its schedule, and its next meet won't be until Dec. 20 against UC-San Diego. The team will be in San Diego from Dec. 17 to 23, where it will have the luxury of actually swimming in outdoor pools.
Harvard will begin heavy training today to get ready for the trip. The team is hoping that its success in dual meets and at the Cavalier Invitational will carry through the California trip and into the new year, when the Crimson will have three more Ivy games before it hosts the conference championships at Blodgett Pool.
"The season has gone very well so far," Peluse said. "I think we have a really good shot at the Ivy title this year, which would be the first time any of us has won it."
The team's hopes have been raised since the Crimson beat Brown 193-106 at Blodgett on Nov. 19. The Bears are the defending Ivy champions. For Harvard to complete a perfect conference schedule, the Crimson must defeat Penn, Yale and Princeton in meets at Blodgett after the break.
