Other non-conference games of interest will take place over the Crimson's Thanksgiving road trip. Harvard will travel south to play Georgia Tech on Nov. 28 and then face Mercer two days later.
But the true crux of the schedule will begin on Dec. 16 when Harvard plays its first Ivy League contest at home against Dartmouth. Over the ensuing two months, the Crimson will face every Ivy team twice in the race for the League title.
The Crimson will end the season at home with games against Columbia and Cornell in early March.
