The Fab Five: Harvard's Top Fall Varsity Teams, Week Four

No new teams broke into the top five this week, but the top four squads traded places in a weekend filled with crushing victories and tough defeats.

5. Women’s Volleyball (10-7, 3-4 Ivy)

Harvard lost to Cornell and defeated Columbia last weekend. Taylor Docter smacked the Lions out of the gym, recording five aces in the league victory.

Previous Rank: 5

4. Women’s Tennis

The Crimson did not see any action last week. The team will compete at the ITA Regional Tournament in New Haven, Connecticut this weekend.

Previous Rank: 3

3. Sailing

The sailing team overcame last week’s shipwreck to take third place at the Lark Invitational at Tufts. The team will compete in five regattas next weekend.

Previous Rank: 4

2. Women’s Golf

The Crimson took second place in the Harvard Invitational, falling to Penn by just 5 strokes. The rain and wind were unforgiving, as battling the elements is not something that five of the team’s players from California are used to.

Previous Rank: 1

1. Football (4-1, 3-0 Ivy)

The Crimson continues to roll, picking up its fourth consecutive victory last weekend. Colton Chapple was spectacular again, throwing for five touchdowns. The Crimson battle Princeton on Saturday in a game that could be less competitive than Shaq in a free throw shooting competition.
