Water Polo

The Harvard women's water polo team, coming off a tough series of matches in the tournament it hosted at Blodgett Pool a week ago, entered Friday night's competition looking to tune up for next week's Eastern tournament at Bucknell.

So what better way for the squad to keep sharp than to play one of the teams it defeated last week at the Harvard Invitational.

The Crimson defeated Brown, 11-4, Friday night in Providence. The victory improved Harvard's record to 4-2-1.

"It wasn't total blowout," Co-Captain Leslie Barbi said. "They swam well and made us work for it."

"It was a good workout," junior Lyn Ogilvie said. "It was good to get some of the plays down that we've been working on all season."

Golf

The Harvard golf team placed fourth in the Ivy League golf tournament in Long Island this weekend under miserable weather conditions at the Beth Page golf course.

"It was cold, windy and rainy," senior John Beizer said. "The conditions were so bad [on Friday] that you couldn't hold on to the club."

The weather sent the scores skyrocketing. "The scores were really high this year," Beizer said.

The low individual score for Harvard in the tournament would have been 38 over par, but in team play, strokes are compared to other teams' scores.

With the bad weather, the Crimson's performance slipped from the effort it turned in last week at the H-Y-P tournament in Connecticut.
