The Crimson's success this year contrasts sharply with the predictions of preseason critics who had foretold a fourth-place finish in the league for Harvard.
After enjoying a successful weekend against two league opponents, Harvard will face a difficult challenge Friday night against Penn, which is the only other unbeaten team in the Ivy League. At stake for the Crimson next weekend will be the continuation of its six-game win streak as well as its place atop the league standings.
