Last year Yale also led the nation with 28 Public Recognition Awards, four more than any other school. In 2006 26 of Yale's 29 teams that were eligible to be rated had APR scores in the top 10 percent.

This year a total of 712 teams across 192 Division I institutions were honored with the awards, which are given to those teams whose multi-year APR scores are in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Ivy League was the Division I conference with the largest number of high-performing squads, with 150 teams receiving awards this year. Yale (28 teams) was followed by Dartmouth (24), Brown (21), Penn (20), Princeton (19), Harvard (18), Cornell (11) and Columbia (9).

The Academic Progress Rate measures semester-by-semester progress toward graduation of every individual team in Division I and includes eligibility, retention and graduation as factors. The APR awards two points each term to student-athletes who meet academic eligibility standards and who remain with the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned by the team at a given time divided by the total points possible, multiplied by 1,000. It includes four years. Multi-year APR scores for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition awards, will be announced May 6.

Yale's 28 Public Recognition Award recipients are:

• Baseball
• Men's Basketball
• Men's Cross Country
• Men's Fencing
• Football
• Men's Golf
• Men's Ice Hockey
• Men's Lacrosse
• Men's Soccer
• Men's Swimming and Diving

The Crimson also denied Yale's chance at a perfect season, as the Bulldogs finish 9-1 with the loss.

"We didn't have a lot of success doing anything today," said Yale captain senior nose guard Brandt Hollander. "It was just not our day."   ... [Read the article at YaleBulldogs.com]

McLeod on Yale's inability to get the run game going [37-6:Harvard]

 "I guess now that the season's over I don't have to hide anything,"
McLeod said.  "It hurts. It limits me. I'd say I was 60-70 percent.
We tried some new stuff to have me play and it didn't work.
I want to be out there, but it's difficult. I know my limits.
I could not run. I wasn't effective."   ... [Read the article at YaleBulldogs.com]
