Harvard field hockey (8-9, 3-4 Ivy) enjoyed quite the turnaround season this fall. In winning five more games than last year, the Crimson made a case for a return to prominence in the Ivy League.

Dickson’s co-captain, defender Georgia McGillivray was named second-team all-conference for her efforts this year. She had previously received honorable mention recognition.

Percy Haughton is undoubtedly one of the most successful coaches in Harvard football history, but while his results are indisputable, his legendary motivational tactics are dubious.
The legend of Haughton goes like this: In 1908 right before The Game, Haughton strangled a bulldog in front of his players in an attempt to motivate them to beat Yale.
