With many teams starting theirs seasons and other hitting the championship grind, The Back Page decided to check in on how the teams are comparing with each other in this busy weekend in Harvard Athletics.

After getting swept by No. 5 Penn State on Friday evening, Harvard came out firing in hopes of avoiding a home sweep of conference games this weekend.

The No. 8 Harvard women’s hockey team (19-8-1, 14-6-1 ECAC) tamed the Brown (8-13-7, 5-12-4 ECAC), 5-1, as a loss by Clarkson guaranteed the Crimson the second seed heading into the playoffs.

Here at The Back Page, we like Jeremy Lin. We also like ranking things. They are probably our two greatest loves, so we began to think of how we could combine them into one giant love. And then we got it: Alumni Power Rankings.

So what do current Harvard athletes think of Lin’s meteoric rise? To get an athlete’s perspective, we at The Back Page caught up with senior cornerback Matt Hanson.

The Harvard women's squash team captured the Ivy League title over Yale on Sunday.

Harvard (5-1, 0-1 EIVA) did not capitalize on late opportunities in the decisive third game, and the Patriots left the Malkin Athletic Center on Friday night with a 3-0 win over the previously undefeated Crimson.

While most of Crimson Nation is going “Lin-sane” over its newest basketball-star-turned-pop-culture-juggernaut, Harvard alums elsewhere in the pros are getting it done as well.

After an attack error gave MIT the first game of the match, things did not appear to be going the right way for the Harvard men’s volleyball team.

Coming out of the locker for the third period down a goal, the No. 7/8 Harvard women’s hockey team skated to center ice as the loudspeaker in Bright Hockey Center blared the Black Eyed Peas’ 2004 dance hit, “Let’s Get It Started.”
