The Harvard softball team continues its Ivy League season this weekend, taking on unbeaten Cornell (20-11, 6-0 Ivy) and last year's Ivy doormat, Columbia (11-15, 1-5).
This weekend's series of doubleheaders represents the Crimson's (12-14, 3-1) first conference home games of the year.
The Crimson comes in with some steam behind it.
Harvard went 3-1 to start out its Ivy season, splitting with Princeton (1-2, 6-5), and sweeping Penn (7-1, 9-3).
The Crimson takes on Columbia tomorrow, and looks to halt the Lions' recent strong play.
"I think we're going into Columbia a lot like we went into Penn," said tri-captain Mairead McKendry. "They'll be tough, but they'll also prepare us for Cornell."
After being shutout for four straight games, Columbia exploded against Brown, scoring eight runs and shutting out the Bears. The Lions belted 13 hits in that game, and sophomore Allison Buehler tossed a one-hitter in the win.
In the second game against the Bears, the Lions lost in eight innings, 3-0.
