Junior co-captains Hideko Tachibana and Kristin Norton led the way for the Harvard women’s tennis team in 2011-12. The pair finished second in the Ivy League Doubles Tournament and received All-Ivy recognition for their work on the singles court.

Where to start with the 2011-12 Harvard men’s hockey team? The Crimson set an NCAA record with 11 ties, skated at Fenway Park, the TD Garden, and Atlantic City, made it all the way to the ECAC Championship game, and—at one point in the season—had the most effective power play ever.

Much has been written about what the athletic department and Friends of Harvard Basketball did to ignite Harvard’s previously moribund basketball program. But where is the similar movement for other struggling programs across the river?

After coming into the weekend with an outside chance at making the Ivy League playoffs, the Harvard baseball team saw its season come to a close Sunday, splitting its doubleheader at Rolfe Division champion Dartmouth.

In its second doubleheader in as many days, the Harvard baseball team split its matchups with Yale, claiming the first before falling in the second.

It’s been a big sports year for Harvard alums. There was Ryan Fitzpatrick ’05 quarterbacking his way into the hearts of Bills fans and being rewarded with a $59 million contract. There was Matt Birk ’98 continuing a stellar career with the Baltimore Ravens and being named the 2012 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. And of course, there was Jeremy Lin ’10 reenergizing the New York Knicks and spreading bad, vaguely racist, puns across the nation.
