CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard Women's Rugby put the finishing touches on a memorable 2025-26 this past spring with its 7s campaign. Led by an impactful senior class, the Crimson followed its third straight 15s national title with a third-place finish at the CRAA 7s National Championship.
After becoming the first NCAA Division I program to win four 15s crown in November, the Crimson returned to the pitch in April to compete in Tampa, Florida, for the Tropical 7s tournament where it won the plate final, finishing in fifth place. Among the highlights were
Lennox London's five tries vs. Penn State in the plate semifinals, which pushed her past the century mark for her career. The senior is the lone student-athlete in program history with more than 100 tries in a career.
The action returned to campus the next weekend as Harvard played host to Ivy 7s. The Crimson rolled through the competition, finishing with an unblemished record en route to the championship. The title was the program's first since 2024 and gave the senior class a pair of Ivy crowns during its time in Cambridge.
The Crimson closed its season in Indianapolis, Indiana, for the CRAA 7s National Championship. Harvard went undefeated during first-day action, securing a spot in the national semifinals on Day 2. After suffering a tough overtime loss to Lindenwood, the Crimson responded with a 17-10 victory over Army in the third-place game.
The time in Indianapolis put an end to a highly successful Class of 2026. The senior class (
