The Harvard women's swimming and diving team (5-3, 2-2 Ivy) faced some stiff competition from Yale last Friday at Blodgett Pool, losing the meet to the Elis 147-153.
The meet started off on a good note with sophomore Christen Deveney, senior Emily Buckley, junior Keiko Iwahara, and freshman Nancy Jo winning the 200 medley relay with a time of 1:48.96, a full three seconds ahead of the second place Elis.
However, the Elis won the next five swimming events and the Crimson quickly found themselves down 20 points before the 50 meter freestyle race and in desperate need of some first place finishes from its swimmers.
After a rocky first couple of drives at the beginning of the game, Harvard settled down, and Linden heated up. After the Crimson sent Yale three and-out on the Elis' third drive of the game, Linden engineered a 68-yard, 10-play drive that resulted in a three-yard...
Yale had plenty of chances in both halves but consistently failed to capitalize until the fourth quarter. The Elis did score at the end of the third quarter when quarterback Barber connected with Rodriguez for a 12-yard touchdown pass.
