Women’s Water Polo (14-6 Overall, 5-2 CWPA) It was the basketball equivalent of a court-length alley-oop with a second left on the clock where the only thing you could do was tip it in. Amazingly, after rallying from a 3-1 deficit against Brown to tie the match at 8-8, head coach Erik Farrar called his last timeout and sent everyone to the front of the net. Everyone except junior goalkeeper Lydia Gardner (Crownsville, MD). Gardner fired a pool-length pass and freshman Lauren Snyder (Jenison, MI) played the heroine by tipping in the pass and sending the Smith Center, which was filled with Brown fans, into a stunned silence and the Crimson sideline into a raucous celebration. Harvard knocked off Brown for the second time in three tries this season and, coupled with its win earlier in the day over Connecticut College, the Crimson has now won four of its last five. In those five games, Harvard has outscored its opponents 50-27. Its only loss came to Princeton, which has now defeated the Crimson twice this season. A third place finish at the ECAC Championships saw the Codini sisters Teresa and Tina earn all-tournament honors while Gardner grabbed first-team goalie honors.

Over 150 athletes from the U.S. and England were on hand competing in the 40th Harvard- Yale vs. Oxford-Cambridge track and field meet on April 9. It is one of the oldest international athletic competitions of its kind – the first joint match took place in London in 1899, preceded by competitions between Yale and Oxford and Cambridge dating back to 1894. For over a century, students from these universities have taken part in this unique cultural, educational, and ath- letic exchange. Harvard last hosted this event in 1993. This year’s event was won by Harvard-Yale and was followed by a dinner honoring the groups and the legacy of this event.

H-Y captains were presented with the Naughton Trophy for winning this year’s H-Y vs. O-C Meet.
