The Ivy Race Begins

It’s Harvard week ... FINALLY! Our Ivy season begins on Saturday. This Ivy League of ours is truly a unique animal. There is nothing else like it in the zoo of college athletics. Our players are amateurs, they attend classes they choose and many of them work each term.

Our league’s playing fields and courts are very level. We play back to back Friday and Saturday nights. Before any game begins we must travel ... in the winter ... in the Northeast. There are no second chances in the Ivy League, no postseason tournament. Every weekend is a championship weekend.

Throw all these factors onto one court each weekend and you have yourself great competition; and great competition that is great fun.

It all starts this Saturday night at 7 p.m. at Leede Arena against Harvard.
