The Fab Five: Harvard’s Top Fall Varsity Teams, Week 7

5. End of Occupy Harvard

Congratulations student protesters, your demonstrations succeeded in aggravating the majority of the Harvard community. Now you can take your tents out of the yard and use them to tailgate the men’s basketball and hockey games at home this weekend.

4. Men’s Water Polo (9-18, 6-9 Ivy)

Its record isn’t that impressive, but the Crimson won its opening match at the CWPA Northern Division Championships, an 11-10 overtime victory over tournament host MIT. Despite losing its next two games, the team qualified for the CWPA Eastern Championship next weekend.

3. Men’s Tennis

Harvard had a strong finish to its fall season, winning twelve matches and losing just five at the William and Mary Invitational. Too bad the team won’t compete again until January; the athletic program could use a few more fall winning streaks.

2. Women’s Soccer (12-4-1, 6-0-1 Ivy)

With a win over Columbia on Saturday, the Crimson clinched sole possession of the Ivy League title, and more importantly, qualified for the NCAA tournament. The team opens post-season play against BU on Saturday. Harvard could use a change of luck against the Terriers—both the men and the women lost to BU earlier this year.

1. Football (7-1, 5-0 Ivy)

After beating Columbia last weekend, the Crimson is the only remaining team undefeated in Ivy League competition. With Randy Moss doing the play-by-play for Harvard’s game against Penn on Saturday, the team shouldn’t need any extra motivation to play well. That is, of course, until the team realizes that it's not the Randy Moss.
