...three straight from 1996-1998 and a pair in 2002 and 2003—the streak began after a vaunted freshman class had a year to grow up. Allison Feaster ‘98 led the Crimson to three straight titles and a shocking upset of No. 1 seed Stanford in the 1998 NCAA Tournament. Hana Peljto ‘04 and company came back after their freshman year to guide Harvard to back-to-back titles in their sophomore and junior seasons.The growing pains—two sloppy performances against Yale, a slow first half at lowly Columbia?...
Lily Lorentzen had a pretty good weekend. The Harvard freshman, the top seed in the CSA Individual National Championships, steamrolled her way through the bracket and into the finals, where she emerged with a five-game win and the national individual title. Lorentzen, who postponed her enrollment to spend a year training and competing on the international circuit, became the first Harvard player to win the Ramsay Cup since 1998.

The first time was in five games in the Crimson’s 5-4, Ivy title-clinching...
Junior Siddharth Suchde’s whirlwind 2006 tour has come to a close. After having an undefeated team season, Suchde was seeded as the No. 1 player in the nation coming into this weekend’s CSA Individual National Championships and fell to three-time defending champion Yasser El Halaby of Princeton, 3-0, in the finals. “It was fitting that it was Sid and Yasser,” said captain Will Broadbent. “They are the two best college players in the nation.” Suchde shut out every opponent...
...Ogunwole—who had finished fifth last year in the EIWAs in the 285 lbs.—continued to build on his successful season by defeating Tanner Garret of Navy, 3-2, in the finals, en route to securing his first ever EIWA championship title. No. 3-seeded Preston (133 lbs.), who had finished first last year in the EIWAs at 125 lbs., almost pulled off another championship victory this year. To reach the finals, he defeated No. 2 seed Mike Mormile of Cornell, 5-3, who had dealt Preston his only dual meet loss of the season...
