In the afternoon game, Harvard beat Brown, 9-4.
Agression and violence were the two main attributes of this game. "We really have a big rivalry with them," Ozer said, "and they were trying to play extra violent with us, so that we would react and then maybe get ejected from the game."
Hafferty said that Brown's assaults were especially targeted to incite Ysreal, Withy and Ozer.
"But this tactic threw them off their game more than it helped them," said Hafferty.
Due to aggressive tactics which focused more on attacking the man than the ball, there were several occasions when the ball was free in front of the Brown net. Ysreal used two of these free opportunities to score goals in the third quarter, giving Harvard a 5-3 lead.
With this advantage, Harvard began to toy with the Brown players, lofting the ball over their heads when an aggressive swimmer would swim straight at them. A few passing sequences between Withy and Ogilvie led to scores which widened the lead to 7-3, put the game out of reach, and earned Harvard its second place finish in the tournament.
Hafferty found the second game especially encouraging because Harvard reversed the mistakes it had made in the earlier game. "[Brown] committed the fouls in this game, and that let us have the advantages."
The Crimson's next series of games comes next week in a tournament at Queens.
