As the men’s volleyball team (17-8, 10-4 EIVA) heads towards the postseason, The Back Page takes a look back at some of the important numbers from the team’s regular season.

As the school year reaches its closing stretch, many teams are playing the last games of their seasons. The Back Page is previewing all of the end-of-season tournaments for the teams with By The Numbers slots. In this post, staff writer David Freed previews the Ivy League Championships for both the men’s and women’s golf teams.

14 ... Rounds of golf played in the spring by the men’s team, second-lowest in the Ivy League to Cornell’s 13. Harvard played 18 and 19 rounds in 2012 and 2011, respectively.

4 ... Female Crimson golfers in the top 10 of the Ancient Eight. Yale has three, and no other college has more than one.

3.93 ... Score versus par for freshman Christine Lin, who is nearly 2.5 strokes better than the nearest non-Harvard freshman (Princeton’s Sydney Kersten).

3.50 ... Number of bogey holes per round for freshman male golfer Rohan Ranmath, who leads the team.

2.00... Score versus par for the top Crimson male golfer, junior Theodore Lederhausen.

14.93 ... Score versus par for the female Crimson golf team, which ranks 2.69 shots better than second-place Columbia.

0 ... Number of combined tournament wins for the two teams on the season, who start play for the Ivy League Championships Friday.

As Jeremy Lin ‘10 and the Houston Rockets (eighth seed in the Western Conference) make their way through the NBA playoffs, The Back Page will provide game-by-game updates on Lin’s play.

Although Lin’s New York Knicks made the playoffs last year, Sunday’s game against the Oklahoma City Thunder represented his first taste of the postseason. Lin sat out last year’s series nursing an injury, but this year took the court for a young Rockets squad that dropped from the seventh to the eighth seed on the final game of the season, drawing the conference-leading Thunder instead of the a San Antonio team which finished 2-5 in its last seven games.

This weekend, an NFL team will draft Harvard senior Kyle Juszczyk. The Crimson standout has had official visits with a dozen teams, all of which are presumably interested in drafting the FCS All-American somewhere between the third and sixth rounds. One team that hasn’t shown interest in Juszczyk is the Philadelphia Eagles, which makes sense given that they already have his NFL doppelganger. This offseason, the Eagles signed former Houston Texan James Casey, who shares a number of similarities with Juszczyk.
