Harvard's varsity sailing team came from behind Sunday at Providence to edge Dartmouth in the final heat for the Mosbacher Trophy and the Ivy League Title.
The championship was the crew's third in the last seven years and made the Crimson the favorite in this weekend's races for the New England Intercollegiate Championships.
