BOSTON--Call it drive. Call it a mission. Or probably more appropriately, call it a vision quest. Either way, one thing is clear. This is one determined Harvard wrestling team.

Despite a plague of injuries and a shifting line-up, the Crimson (8-5, 4-3 EIWA) saw it all come together this past weekend as it swept New England opponents Brown and Boston University and capped off the dual meet season with a 3-0 winning streak.

With a number of outstanding performances against some of the top wrestlers in the nation, the Harvard grapplers had much to celebrate as they edged out the Bears 16-15 on Friday night before crushing the Terriers 35-8 the following day.

"It was a fun weekend and we felt really good coming out of it," said freshman sensation Max Odom. "It is a good way to go into EIWAs."

Harvard 16, Brown 15

After last season's loss to Brown, a team for which Harvard Coach Jay Weiss was formerly an assistant coach, the Crimson traveled to Providence for a highly anticipated rematch and a chance for revenge.

However, the team was forced to do so without three veteran wrestlers--sophomore Brandon Rhoades (125-pounds), co-captain Ed Mosley (174-pounds), and junior Brad Soltis (197-pounds). Yet, even with an altered line-up that bumped up three wrestlers, the Crimson came out in full force.

"I am very pleased with the weekend," Weiss said. "It proves we are doing the right things and peaking at the right time. It creates great momentum."
