2017 Ivy League Champion Yale with American College Cricket Founder & President Lloyd Jodah

The 1st American College Cricket Ivy League was played for the Colin Michael Jodah Trophy at the historic Philadelphia Cricket Club and won by University of Pennsylvania in 2013. Colin, older brother of Lloyd and an important behind the scenes contributor to American College Cricket, had died in Jan 2013.

The next 3 Ivy League Championships were won by a surging Harvard as Penn went into a slump from their strong years. The 2016 Ivy League was more momentous as it was played on the Yale campus. Harvard won the final on the last ball vs Yale.
