NBA FINALS BOUND
Harvard men’s basketball alum
Jeremy Lin became the first Harvard alum to reach the NBA Finals when the Toronto Raptors defeated the Milwaukee Bucks in six games, 4-2. He is the first Ivy to accomplish the feat since Yale’s

ALL HE DOES IS WIN, NO MATTER WHAT
Princeton men’s lacrosse alum
Zach Currier, who won the Major League Lacrosse championship with the Denver Outlaws last summer, added to his mantle the National Lacrosse League championship after his Calgary Roughnecks swept the Buffalo Bandits, winning game one, 10-7, and game two, 14-13 in overtime.
THE ULTIMATE ACCOMPLISHMENT
Brown’s men’s ultimate frisbee team defeated UNC in the USA Ultimate College Frisbee Championship game, 14-8, for its first title since 2005.
CHAMPIONSHIP LEGACY
After 37 years, 510 wins and 14 Ivy League titles, including the last six-straight, Columbia men’s tennis coach
Bid Goswami retired after leading the Lions to their second-straight sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
