So Getman buried it.
Pull the right and left forwards out to the wings. Open up a little more space up front.
Bring on some fresh faces. Start a couple of rookies on the attack.
Getman lined up freshmen Brian Enge and Jeremy Amen in the right forward and midfield positions. The two had played together before, on a club team in California during high school.
And they hadn't forgotten each other's style.
Witness Crimson goal number two.
Enge pressured in the midfield and made a pick off a B.C. back. When the Eagles descended upon Enge to knock the ball loose, Amen picked it up and pushed forward to get the ball to Baverstock in the right corner. Junior forward Nick D'Onofrio connected on a Baverstock cross pass to give Harvard a 2-0 lead.
A little adjustment. A new combination. The Crimson's first two-goal lead of the season.
"The new line-up gives us a lot more space up front," Amen said. "It was easier to play the long ball. We were stringing more passes together coming out of the back."
Harvard was quicker on restarts, smoother in the midfield, and played with more intensity than it had since defeating Columbia, 1-0.
"We moved it faster, we were pretty sharp," Rajballie said.
B.C.'s lone goal came after Enge was taken down on a questionable tackle in the midfield. With the Crimson mobilized for the attack, the Eagles broke away for a clean shot at goal. Senior midfielder Pat Gilligan passed to forward David Sullivan, who fired the ball to the left of Crimson senior goaltender Stephen Hall.
"Brian was fouled in the midfield," Getman said. "It set them on a breakaway when we were pushing forward."
