"We have a lot of freshmen, and we want to work on getting to know each other as well as we can," Tri-Captain Brita Lind said. "Any game is good for that."
Nothing like a blowout to build team spirit.
"Everyone was anxious to score," Lind said. "There wasn't much to go around last time [in the Crimson's 5-1 season-opening loss to Providence]. This is only our second game. We're so anxious to play games."
This year, Harvard will be seeking a third-straight Ivy League title. The Crimson opens its league slate Saturday against Yale in New Haven, Conn.
Dooley said parts of his team's game need to be ironed out before the Crimson will be able to reach the heights it achieved the past two seasons.
"The biggest area we have to work on is passing," Dooley said. "It's a timing thing. We're behind. We're not crisp with it yet."
