But the heavier categories once again proved to be the Achilles’ heel for Harvard, as it lost the 184-lb., 197-lb. and heavyweight matches.
“The Princeton loss really hurts, especially since they don’t really have a very good program,” Griffin said.
Harvard will be back in action this weekend when it hosts No. 6 Cornell on Friday night and Columbia and Sacred Heart on Saturday.
Cornell has proven a formidable force in the EIWA, defeating Penn 23-10 but losing to No. 5 Lehigh earlier in the year. The Big Red will be Harvard’s fourth top-ten opponent this year.
“It’s really important for us to win, because there’s not much more time left in the season, and Cornell is one of those teams who’s right up there,” Griffin said.
