Rarely fielding its entire young lineup, the Crimson battled to a 14-10 record, one which looked significantly worse prior to the start of Ivy play following a difficult West Coast trip and a series of losses to lower-ranked opponents.

But the Crimson rebounded to sweep its Ivy season for the second season in a row before bowing out of the NCAA tournament in the first round with a loss to Ohio State.

Junior co-captains Courtney Bergman and Susanna Lingman finished the season at Nos. 4 and 9 in the region, respectively, No. 3 as a tandem.

Sophomore Eva Wang and junior Alexis Martire finished Nos. 12 and 19 in singles, respectively, and were the No. 10 doubles pair.

Penn, Yale and Princeton all finished in the top 15 as well, coming in at Nos. 4, 9 and 14 respectively.

HARVARD PLACES 58TH IN QUEST FOR USSA DIRECTORS’ CUP

Stanford captured its 10th-straight United States Sports Academy Directors’ Cup earlier this week, overtaking Michigan, which led after the conclusion of the winter sports season.

The Directors’ Cup is a measure of a school’s cumulative athletic performance in a given year, assigning points based on year-end finish relative to the national champions in each sport.

UCLA, Ohio State and Georgia rounded out the top five.

Harvard placed 58th, second in the Ivy League behind Princeton at No. 33.

The Crimson accumulated no points in the fall season, but bounced back with a solid showing in the winter, spearheaded by the fencing team, which earned 70.5 points for its performance this year.

Wrestling earned 52 points, men’s swimming 43.5 and skiing 36. The men’s ice hockey team earned 25 points.

Because the national pool is not large enough, points are not awarded for women’s ice hockey, in which the Crimson placed second in the NCAA tournament.

Men’s tennis led the spring campaign with 64 points.
