Despite posting a 3-1 mark on the opening weekend of the Ivy League season, the Harvard softball team returned this weekend from a league road trip holding third place in the conference that it won handily last year.
The Crimson (12-14, 2-2 Ivy) dropped its only game in the first game of a doubleheader against Princeton (8-9, 1-3) on Saturday. Harvard came back to win three straight, including two against Penn (10-19, 0-4) yesterday.

Harvard dropped the first game of the set, 2-1, as Tiger sophomore Brie Galicinao locked horns with senior hurler Chelsea Thoke in a pitcher's duel.
Junior right fielder Sarah Koppel continued her torrid start to the season, hitting a homerun over the left-centerfield wall in the second inning.
Koppel would go on to hit two more homeruns on the trip, giving her eight
