“We kind of forgot how to win, if you will,” senior pitcher Brent Suter says. “Once we got the hang of it, and once we got on a little roll and got a couple games under our belt, it was better.”

The Crimson still managed to finish second in the Rolfe Division thanks to the help of a few key players.

McGuiggan had the best batting average on the team—and tied for fifth in the Ivy League—with Larrow and senior Jeff Reynolds close behind with averages of .350 and .333, respectively. Reynolds also paced the team in hits (54), doubles (13)—tied for second and seventh in the Ancient Eight, respectively—and RBIs (24), earning him a spot on the All-Ivy First Team. Meanwhile, McGuiggan found a spot on the All-Ivy Second Team, while Larrow merited honorable mention.

Suter pitched the most innings on the team and had a 4.36 ERA while averaging 7.55 strikeouts per game. Recently converted to a sidearm hurler, junior Zach Olsen turned out to be Harvard’s top reliever, recording four saves and a 2.61 ERA.

“I think we were a really resilient team,” Suter says. “The results might not have been what we wanted, but overall I’m proud of this team and how we battled and bounced back from a really bad year last year…. A couple of goals were right within reach, but we just fell short.”
