"The game was a little sloppy on our part," Tong said. "But we're looking forward to next week when we play Dartmouth at home."

That game gets under way at 1 p.m. Saturday at Ohiri Field.

Track & Field

This weekend's men's and women's track meets against Yale were scheduled to be held at Gordon Track, but a buckle in the track forced the teams to move the meet to New Haven.

The Harvard men's team followed the lead of its facility and buckled as the Elis Coasted to a 93-70 win. The Crimson women's team wasn't disturbed by the unexpected road trip, however, as it easily handled Yale, 86-47.

"As usual, we were led by the women's weight people," Harvard's Leslie Carson said. The Crimson dominated the throwing events as Co-Captain Cathy Griffin led the way, winning the hammer throw and the discus, while coming in second in the shotput. Nicole Carkeek led the Crimson sweep of the shotput, while Stacey Caldwell's win in the javelin set the tone for another 1-2-3 Harvard finish.

Among the few Harvard men's highlights was the performance of jumpers Derrick Horner and Ed Rios. Horner won the long jump with a leap of 6.71 meters, while Rios took the high jump with an effort of over 6'6".

Freshamn Michael Belbeck turned in an impressive performance in the 800, winning the race in 1:51.

"It was a disappointing meet," Captain John Mee said. "A lot of runners were injured. But we've got to hand it to Yale. They came ready to perform."

Women's Water Polo

The Harvard women's water polo team travelled down the river this weekend for the annual MIT tournament, turning in a mixed 2-2 performance.

Harvard fell to strong Metro-Boston and Brown teams, but conquered their M.I.T. hosts and Queens, pushing the Crimson's record to 9-7.

In the final game on Saturday, a traditionally weak M.I.T. squad shocked Harvard by opening up a 9-6 lead entering the final frame. But the weary Crimson rose to the occasion, firing in a mammoth seven goals in the closing period to lift Harvard to dramatic 13-11 victory.

"This was probably our best game of the year," Co-Captain Melanie Berger said. "It would have been easy for us to get discouraged. The weekend ended on a really great note."

Earlier that day, the Crimson had fallen, 14-8, to the powerhouse Metro-Boston club team, a squad Harvard has traditionally struggled against. Harvard was coming off its solid 10-7 defeat of Queens, a New York club team, earlier that day.
