The Crimson did not salvage its season by winning the Yale game, as the Elis prevailed at The Stadium, 37-10.
Last year, Yale squash Captain John Musto scraped out a fifth-match, fifth-game victory to clinch the competition for the Elis and wrest the national championship from Harvard.
But this year, that exhiliration turned to pain, as top-seeded Harvard junior Jeremy Fraiberg battled him to a decisive fifth-game. Fraiberg prevailed in an overset match to nail the coffin on the Elis.
The Elis' disappointing performance was almost as big a story as the Crimson's dominance. Yale was the top-seeded crew at the Sprints, and had beaten Harvard earlier this year in the Goldthwait Cup.
Above all, the laxmen must tighten up their team defense, which virtually collapsed against the Elis.
