Daily News | Penn’s hopes of an Ivy League crown likely ended by a 37-14 loss to Harvard
Needing two wins to secure at least a share of the Ivy League title, Penn left Franklin Field demoralized following a 37-14 loss to Harvard the in the penultimate game of Ivy League competition for the Quakers.
While Penn isn’t mathematically eliminated, Harvard made the Quakers’ hopes of an Ivy League title a little harder.The two teams traded blows early in the first half, as two lengthy touchdown drives commanded by each team’s quarterback tied the game, 7-7. The tides turned in the second half as Harvard quarterback Charlie Dean began to carve up the Penn secondary. Dean finished 29-of-38 for 316 yards and four TDs.
With Penn’s control of its championship destiny slowly slipping away, senior wide receiver Rory Starkey Jr. carried the Quaker offense down the field and into the end zone on a wild toe-tapping catch from quarterback Aidan Sayin. Sayin went 21-of-31 for 212 yards and the lone TD pass to Starkey Jr. However, Harvard managed to ice the game with a couple of time-consuming drives resulting in field goals to secure the win.On the biggest stage of the season for his team, Dean delivered the best performance of his career. The senior finished with 316 yards and four touchdowns, completing 76% of his passes. Also, Harvard senior running back Aidan Borguet continued his impressive season with 117 rushing yards as the Crimson relied on him heavily yet again to close out the game on the ground.
