Both the men's and women's teams from Yale assumed the role of the overaggressive Stalin, leaving Harvard and Princeton wondering how they had let the Elis get the better of them.
On the women's side, the Elis outdistanced the Crimson, 22-38, while Princeton finished in third with 47 points.
After the lethargic first mile, a pack of Yale and Princeton runners led by Elis Captain Sarah Smith--the eventual winner--pulled away. The closest Harvard finisher was Rachel Lewis, who covered 3.1-mile course in 18:47 to finish fifth.
Eleven missed serves--four of them by strong-hitting Co-Captain Peri Wallace--spelled doom for the Crimson (8-7 overall, 2-2 Ivy), as the Elis squeezed out a 15-12, 8-15, 15-7, 14-16, 15-12 victory.
Both the men's and women's teams will take a two-week hiatus before travelling to Yale to face Princeton and the Elis on October 19th.
