Losses bookend water polo outing

Harvard women’s water polo kicked off its 2007 campaign with a 3-2 showing at the Brown-hosted Ivy League invitational this past weekend (Feb. 9-11), ultimately falling to the host Bears, 11-4, in the championship meet. The Crimson squad advanced to Sunday’s title game (Feb. 11) on the strength of three straight wins against Villanova, Dartmouth, and Penn.

The loss to Brown, meanwhile, marked Harvard’s second of the weekend (Wagner edged the Crimson, 10-9, in the opening contest). The Crimson resume play versus defending Northern Division champion Hartwick on Feb. 24 at Blodgett Pool.
