Laxmen Fete McCaffrey, 11-4; Green Droops at B-Day Party

With two minutes left in the first half and Harvard clinging to a 3-2 lead, Dartmouth goalie Phil Bayly trotted up field with the ball.

The Crimson defense was playing back and Bayly was looking for an open man downfield.

He spotted Slyke on the right sideline and flipped the ball toward the senior attacker, but Pujols reached it first.

With Bayly out of position, Pujols let loose a shot from midfield that soared into the middle of the Dartmouth net.

"That was a big goal," Scalise said. "He sees the open net, he throws it and it goes in. That really gave us a big lift."
