Playing With Pride

Coming into The Game with an undefeated season record, the pressure was on for a Harvard win. Despite some great plays and a few touchdowns, it wasn't enough to hold off Yale, who took home its fourth consecutive win with an ending score of 45-28. Harvard will seek a hometown rematch in November 2026, when The Game returns to Fenway Park.
