Leading Harvard’s offense throughout all three games were sophomore twin sisters Tina and Teresa Codini.

“Tina and Teresa work together really well,” Kennifer said.

Though the Crimson’s initial results have left much to be desired, the teams it has played thus far are not necessarily representative of those it will face when it hits the heart of its schedule. Many of the teams Harvard has played so far have been from either the West Coast or abroad, and consequently their levels of preparation have far surpassed that of the Crimson.

With this weekend’s slightly improved results, the Harvard squad believes it has begun to operate in a more unified manner that will ensure better results later in the season.

“This is only one of the first weekends we’ve played [together] as a team,” Kennifer said. “There has been definite improvement in each of our games.”

Still, if the Crimson is to pose a challenge to its rivals in Providence next weekend, much will need to change.

“[It will take] continued hard work in practice,” Tina Codini said. “We have a lot of freshmen who are learning to play ‘East Coast’ water polo.”

The Crimson returns to action next Saturday in the second Brown Invitational.
