Ted Minnis discusses the 2025 women's water polo season and what is to come for the Crimson after its most successful season in program history. 

Veterans Ruby Hodge, Maya O'Dea, Emma Gilbert, Heidi Heffelfinger, and Ella Schneider, along with rookies  Orli Cooper and CWPA Rookie of the Year Niki Piovan, led the way in 2025 and helped Harvard win its first CWPA Championship and go to the NCAA Championships for the first time. 

The Crimson finished the regular season with a 10-2 record in conference play and sits at 22-6 overall with one game to go next weekend ahead of the 2025 playoffs. Harvard started the season by going 16-1 with wins over No. 25 LIU, No. 19 Wagner, No. 15 UCSB, No. 13 Princeton, No. 11 UCSD, No. 16 Michigan, No. 23 CBU, and No. 22 Brown in one of its best starts in program history before beating Michigan and Princeton 

Harvard jumped up to its highest ranking in program history after coming in at No. 8/7 in the ACWPC and CWPA weekly polls earlier this season. 
The Crimson set a program record with 26 wins this year between the regular season and playoffs.
