At 149-pounds, in a highly anticipated match-up, Jantzen easily handled top wrestler Malik Elliot, ranked in the top fifteen in the country. Jantzen won 5-3, and was completely in control the entire match.

Sophomore Reggie Lee also had a standout performance, outwrestling his opponent 6-2 at 197-pounds. Sophomore Nick Picarsic put in a great effort at 141-pounds, getting a pin at 2:59 while O'Donnell added the other, earning his fall at 3:10. Sophomore Max Odom (157-pounds), freshman PJ Jones (174-pounds), and Picarsic (133-pounds) also turned in solid victories for the Crimson.

However, despite the excitement of sharing the Ivy title, the Crimson now gets ready for the Eastern Intercollegiate Wrestling Association (EIWA) Tournament--the most important contest of the season.

"Though it was great to win the elusive Ivy title--something no Harvard team has every done--our team has been focused on the Eastern tournament since the beginning of the year,"Picarsic said. "So maybe more importantly, winning the Ivy title, not to mention our last seven dual meets, has given us a big confidence boost heading into Easterns."

The Crimson will head to the University of Pennsylvania this weekend, setting its sights on another championship as well as multiple NCAA berths. The top two winners in each weight class plus ten wildcards earn the highly coveted spots to the NCAA tournament in mid-March.

And if one thing is clear from the current EIWA picture and the outcome of the dual meet season, it is that the title is definitely up for grabs. Such is the case since Lehigh has lost two of its best starters to injury.

"Going into this weekend, we have as good of a chance as anyone else in the conference of winning the EIWA Championship," said Volpe. "We have definitely been going in the right direction the past couple months. This is the time of year that we always try to peak for, so we should be well rested, healed and at our best this weekend."

Harvard, currently ranked No. 2 in the EIWA, is poised to make its mark. It is ranked behind Penn, and ahead of Lehigh and Cornell, respectively. Eight members of the Crimson line-up are ranked in the top six of their respective weight classes. Matt Picarsic, on the heels of a phenomenal season, is ranked at the top of the 133-pound weight class.
