First, though, Harvard must continue to plow through the toughest section of its schedule--a stretch that includes games against perennially powerful Hartwick on Saturday and nationally ranked Boston University next Wednesday.

"We've got a few hard games coming up," Mills said. "We have to play each as if it was our last game. It's going to be tough, though, to keep the heads up."

THE NOTEBOOK: Connecticut is the second team to shut out the Crimson this season; Columbia blanked Harvard, 1-0 in overtime, in Ivy League action last month...The Huskies are ranked fourth in New England behind Vermont, Boston University and Yale...Sophomore John Shue started at right fullback for an injured Roger Chapman. Chapman missed his second straight game with an ankle injury...Harvard is currently 1-1-0 in the Ivy League, which puts it in a four-way tie for fourth place. Columbia leads the Ivies with a 2-0 record, followed by Penn (1-1-1)...The Harvard-Hartwick game will be played at 11 a.m. Saturday at Ohiri Field.
