Construction Crew in Pink and Blue

The Soccer Notebook

The 2-1 loss to UConn marked the first home loss for the Crimson since October 1985, and the first regular-season defeat since Penn downed Harvard, 3-0, in November 1986.

The Huskies also snapped senior goalkeeper Stephen Hall's scoreless streak this season.

Against the Huskies, freshman Josh Morris scored his first goal in a Crimson uniform.

In Hartford over the weekend--Harvard's first road trip of the season--freshmen midfielders Brian Enge and Jeremy Amen each tallied his first point of the season.

It was also the first time Harvard scored more than one goal in a game this season--the Crimson beat Fresno St., 2-1, on Saturday.

And the first tournament trophy for the Crimson in 1988.

Rising Baverstock: With a pair of goals over the weekend, junior midfielder Paul Baverstock claimed the top spot on Harvard's scoring list.

Baverstock has tallied two goals and one assist in the Crimson's first six games, for a team-high five points. Tied for second are junior forwards Dave Kramer and Nick D'Onofrio, each with one goal and one assist for three points.

Injury Update: Harvard was without the aid of junior forward Derek Mills and senior back Gian D'Ornellas over the weekend, as both were sidelined with injuries. Mills reaggravated a summer knee injury in the UConn game, while D'Ornellas suffers from a sprained ankle.

Both are tentatively expected to return to the lineup for this Saturday's contest at Hartwick, N.Y.

Now It's Miller Time: After playing four games in nine days--including two on the road--the Crimson has a six-day layoff before trekking to Hartwick this weekend. Harvard and the 'Wick battled to a 1-1 overtime tie at Ohiri Field last season.

"Four games in nine days is tough," Harvard Coach Mike Getman said after Sunday's contest. "We're really tired. We need the break."

Harvard's next home game is October 5 when Boston College travels to Ohiri Field.

Last year, the Crimson recorded a 1-0 overtime victory against the Eagles. Harvard's Robert Bonnie scorded a 50-yard kick.
