...uphill battle. Despite the squad’s youth, the Crimson managed to finish third in the Ivy League behind Princeton, who went 6-0 in conference play, and Yale. “I thought it was a fantastic season,” junior captain Verdi DiSesa said. “We worked hard and played well even though we were hurt by losing last year’s class. We did better than most people thought we would.” Harvard started off its season with four consecutive wins, three of which came against Ivy rivals Brown, Dartmouth...
Bold but never naked ambition is the animating force of Seducing the Boys Club: Uncensored Tactics from a Woman at the Top (Ballantine), the audacious book by Nina DiSesa, chairman of the flagship New York City office of the advertising agency McCann Erickson.

During that match he was really pushed, but winning gave him confidence, so it was great.” Because he played the No. 2 seed for the Crimson, Hill could have played at a lower spot...
...devastating loss of the weekend came against Yale, who Harvard saw as its most evenly matched opponent. “In all I think it went really well, but if I wanted one match to come out differently, it would have been Yale,” junior captain Verdi DiSesa said. The three wins came from West, Buchanan, and Hrdy, who all defeated their Bulldog opponents 3-0. In the closest contest of the day, Endresen had match ball in the fifth game against Yale senior Moshe Sarfaty, but Sarfaty rallied back three points and won the match. Throughout...
