The Harvard squad has had its bright spots this season.

The team came within a whisker of getting an NCAA bid, an unheard of achievement for a Harvard team.

It was the first Harvard squad in eight years to have a realistic chance at winning the Ivy League championship.

The team as a whole showed a lot of promise. Freshmen Ned Staebler, Abbas Hyderi and Dominic Alloco provided their upperclass counterparts a solid base to fall back on, especially when injuries were hurting the team as was proven this year.

"[The season] was enlightening for us. We've discovered a lot more about ourselves personally and as players," Marin said

Halfway through the season, the team showed signs of faltering, losing matches to teams that it could and should have won.

"This was the season of potential," Marin said. "It had the potential to be something great but we could only provide it in spurts."

A young team, the Crimson will only be losing two seniors, Gino Patrizio and Bennett Johnson, and all of their regular starters will be returning next year.
