The Crimson looks to use this loss as motivation for this weekend’s games against Brown (7-26, 4-8), which holds playoff implications for the team as the season winds down.

Harvard men’s heavyweight and lightweight first varsity eights brought trophies back to the boathouse this weekend by winning the Compton Cup and the Biglin Bowl, respectively.

The men’s and women’s teams came away with the sweep, the women claiming a 89-73 victory and the men finishing on top, 114-49.

One week after the Harvard women’s basketball team (12-9, 5-2 Ivy) suffered a devastating loss to Princeton, the Crimson will attempt to bounce back on the road against Brown (14-8, 5-3) and Yale (14-8, 6-2) with second place in the Ivy League on the line.
