While Harvard had to be pleased with its three-game winning streak, the Crimson was well aware that its victories had all come outside of the Ivy League. Harvard’s league record still stood at 0-5, and its lone hope for avoiding the only winless Ivy season under 15-year Harvard Coach Scott Anderson was to win the season finale with Dartmouth.
As it turned out, the Crimson did just that, giving themselves a winning record overall to boot. Of course, Harvard did so coming from behind—and by a score of 7-6.
And while it’s hard to tell whether it was senior leadership, the outstanding play of Primm or the emergence of McBride that sparked the turnaround, there was no mistaking the end result.
