Harvard (8-0, 5-0) defeated Columbia (1-7, 1-4) to set up a battle for the Ivy championship […]

Harvard (7-0, 4-0 Ivy) and Penn (6-1, 4-0) were both 3-0 in the Ivy League standings before Saturday. They are both now 4-0; but it was not easy. With the Ivy league season more than half over, the Cantabs and Quakers are still on top of the standings with perfect 4-0 league records, while Yale […]

Fancy offense does not win championships, but solid defense does. That was how the Detroit Pistons won their NBA championship last year, and the same principle holds for all the Ivy League winners on Saturday. The average Ivy defense allowed only 16 points the entire day. After two rounds of League action, Harvard, Penn and […]

After a surprising run last spring that barely missed the Ivy crown, the women’s tennis team is back on the hardcourts and ready to take another stab at the league title. The Elis begin their 2004-2005 campaign this weekend at the Yale Invitational. Last season, the Bulldogs played their most successful season in recent years, […]

In addition to welcoming its newest members, the Elis will also be embracing another addition — new assistant coach, Katie Granson.
