Almost-Perfect Season Marred by Trinity Losses

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 retirement 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.
