With the win over Princeton accomplished, all but the nation’s top team remains for the Crimson to dethrone.

“The team we’ve been talking about all year was Princeton,” Hendricks admitted. “We are where we want to be, where we feel we deserve to be.”

HARVARD 8, PENN 1

After the intense Trinity contest two days prior, it must have been nice for the Crimson to square off against a less challenging Ivy foe.

Harvard continued to prove itself as one of top League teams, trouncing the Quakers 8-1 in Philadelphia Saturday. The Crimson dominated the match, notching all eight wins by scores of 3-0.

Penn (4-3, 2-3) was unable to do much against a deep Harvard team hungry for an Ivy title and a national championship.

“Penn was not really a strenuous match for most people,” Wilkins said. “I like that we got one more match in before we played Princeton.”

Harvard’s all-time dual-meet record against the Quakers (excluding Howe Cup play) is 21-2. The only losses to Penn came in 2000 and in 1996, both years in which the Quakers won the Ivy title.
