The Harvard men's basketball team's home loss to Penn was maybe the greatest loss in Crimson basketball history.

The Quakers came into the game ranked 24th in the country with an undefeated record. The Crimson, on the other hand, came into the contest with an 8-13 record and the painful memory of a 92-76 loss at Penn on January 7.

What happened when the two teams met was nothing short of amazing. Paced by senior captain Tarik Campbell and a host of youngsters, including sophomore Darrin Rankin and freshman Kyle Snowden, the Crimson not only stayed close to the Quakers but led through much of the game.

In the end, however, Penn battled back to garner a 66-65 win, but it would be the team's biggest scare all regular season. Penn went on to become the first Ivy League team in 10 years to make it to the second rund of the NCAA tournament.

"I wouldn't say that it was a highlight of the year because we lost," senior Anikar Chhabra says. "We're never satisfied with losing."

6. THE CHAMPIONSHIPS--FEB. 23, 1994

There are some things at Harvard we take for granted.

High SAT scores. Old buildings. And phemomenal squash teams.

Once again, both the men's and the women's team took home at regular season national championships.

The men's team captured its fourth title in a row with one of the most dramatic wins in American collegiate squash history. Down 4-1 in a best-of-nine match with the Bulldogs, the team stormed back to win 5-4 on a breathtaking sudden death win by sophomore Talben-Shachar.

The women's 7-2 win over Yale was less dramatic, but no less impressive. The team had won the championship the year before when hardballs were used, and this season, it made the difficult transition to softer balls flawlessly.

"This was the most rewarding team season I've been apart of," senior women's player Jordanna Fraiberg said.

Commented senior men's player Adrian Erza: "This season was incredible, simply incredible."

As a sport, fencing suffers from a general lack of respect. To the average student, it seems slightly antiquated, strange and more than a little bit crazy--who would spend free time getting poked with along, pointy weapon?
