Last weekend's action has given the Crimson a healthy taste of competition before Harvard embarks on its rigorous Ivy League schedule, Getman said.

But capturing the Ancient Eight crown will not be an easy task. Ancient Eight rivals Columbia and Dartmouth are ranked in the top 20 in the country and will be tough foes.

Getman argued that the benefit of the loss to Fresno State can be seen in the victory over UNLV. He said that the Crimson stands a strong chance of winning the Ivy League.

Harvard opens up its Ivy schedule with a game against Columbia on Saturday at Ohiri Field.

"In previous years, we would go into the Columbia game cold," Getman said. "This time, we have some experience before playing the Ivy League teams."
