Athlete Of The Week
After Extended Detour, Crimson QB Worth The Wait
Unlike his journey back to Harvard, Andrew Hatch’s performance Saturday night could not have gone more smoothly.
Harms Earns Redemption in Rematch
For the past two years, Harvard has entered its match against the University of Connecticut ranked sixth in the country, its highest ranking in school history.

Junior keeper Austin Harms surrendered just one goal in the Harvard men’s soccer team’s 1-1 tie with UConn last Saturday.

Second-year forward Brian Rogers scored twice in the Crimson’s first two games on its opening weekend, leading No. 10 Harvard to victory over No. 13 Stanford and UMass.
Rogers’ Winning Goal Sets Tone for Season
It seems that all the goal-scoring responsibilities have fallen onto sophomore Brian Rogers after Andre Akpan, the Crimson’s top scorer, graduated last year.
Harvard Lightweights Finish Dual Season Unbeaten
Rowing great Jim Dietz once said, “Rowing is a sport for dreamers. As long as you put in the work, you can own the dream.” Last season, the Harvard men’s lightweight varsity eight fell just short of its goal to become league and national champions, placing second at Eastern Sprints and then third at IRAs. Having won the 2009 Jope Cup for overall team points and graduating only three members of its varsity crew, the oarsmen knew there was reason to keep the dream alive.
Vaughan Leads Crimson to Historic Win
The sophomore attack notched three tallies and scooped four ground balls as the Crimson defeated the then-No. 6 Tigers, 11-8.

Sophomore attackman Kevin Vaughan recorded three tallies and four ground balls in Harvard’s 11-8 victory over Princeton.
Frosh Spurs Lax Attack
Even to this day, freshman Danielle Tetreault remembers the frustration she experienced trying to stop classmate Jennifer VanderMeulen when the two squared off against each other in high school lacrosse matches. Luckily for Tetreault, she is now wearing the same color uniform as the 5’8” attacker, but VanderMeulen’s new opponents have faced just as much frustration.
Brown's Dominance On Display Again
Eleven days ago, sophomore Rachel Brown pitched the game of her collegiate career—a no-hit, no-walk performance in Harvard softball’s Ivy opener at Princeton. And on Sunday, she did it again.
Kuld Taking Over at the Right Time
Time after time the ball sailed his way, and with an emphatic swing Erik Kuld proved that he was finally ready to take over. The Harvard men’s volleyball co-captain began the season with big shoes to fill, looking to spearhead an offense that graduated prolific outside hitter Brady Weissbourd ’09, and after a week of leading the Crimson to two victories—and leading the squad in kills—Kuld appears to have found his stride.
Kuld-Blooded
Harvard co-captain Erik Kuld, shown here in earlier action, has had an impressive spike in performance as he had 20 kills last Tuesday and 27 kills and 14 digs on Thursday. The team is riding a two-game win streak.
Vloka Gets Back At Foe
Every college athlete dreams of one thing: winning a national championship. Sophomore co-captain Caroline Vloka made that dream a reality this past Saturday at the fencing NCAA championships. Her national title in the sabre and first-team All-America honor were especially sweet because they were laced with 10-years worth of retribution.
Champ From The Get-Go
The Athlete of the Week distinction is reserved for a Harvard competitor who excels in a given time frame, standing out among seven days’ worth of effort across all sports. But wrestling co-captain J.P. O’Connor has not limited his brilliance to periodic outbursts.
