Harvard coach Tommy Amaker honored his seniors at the men's basketball banquet on Friday.
Players, fans, and alumni of the Harvard men’s basketball program gathered at the Harvard Club of Boston Friday evening to honor the 2009-2010 team—the most successful squad in school history.
The crowd was addressed by former Celtics great Satch Sanders, who coached the Crimson from 1973-1977.
The Crimson’s four seniors—Dan McGeary, Pat Magnarelli, Doug Miller, and Jeremy Lin—were specially recognized at the event, receiving framed uniforms for their years of service.
Rain may have pushed back today’s contests by a day, but there’s plenty of weekend baseball left in the crucial division-opening weekend for Ivy League baseball. Gehrig and Rolfe foes will battle amongst themselves in an effort to begin forging a playoff picture.
With reigning-champ Dartmouth struggling somewhat out of the gate, and upstarts Columbia and Brown setting the pace, this weekend could start to separate division contenders and pretenders. Let’s take a look around the Ivies:
Michael Fucito is now playing for the Seattle Sounders.
Harvard soccer alumnus Mike Fucito ’09 got an early birthday present last month, making his MLS debut for the Seattle Sounders only four days before his 24th birthday.
While injuries kept Fucito sidelined for the first year of his professional soccer career, the ex-Crimson superstar made his debut as a Sounder in the team’s season-opening victory on Mar. 25. Fucito stepped onto the field in the 76th minute of play and helped Seattle secure a 2-0 victory over the Philadelphia Union.
The crowds roar at Harvard Stadium on Friday night at the first football game of the year versus Brown University.
Looking back on the year in Harvard athletics—my first year as a Crimson fan—I can’t help but think of the highlights: the first home football game against Brown with an Emma Watson sighting, the lacrosse game against Duke when the tailgate was more of a success than the game itself, and the many other matches that I’ve attended, through which my fandom has grown.
One aspect of these memories that I take for granted is that some of them may not have occured if the Athletic Department had not said, “Let there be light.”
It’s not often that a club sports team gets the chance to play against an international opponent. This Friday, the Harvard Rugby Football Club will get the rare opportunity to host France’s Toulouse Université Club at the Soldiers Field Complex, Cumnock Field #4. The match will start at 4:30pm.
