If Harvard cannot control Adelphi's offense, Adelphi might gain the sort of momentum that allowed it to overwhelm Harvard in the second half last year.
"We can't lose our composure," said Kramer, who is averaging more than four goals a game. "They're a momentum team. Hopefully, we can stifle them."
With five games in the next two weeks--including matchups against the highly touted Brown and Yale teams--today's contest should be a real test for the number-seven Crimson. So early in the season, Miller said, Harvard cannot put too much faith in its high ranking.
"Anyone can be anywhere in the rankings," Miller said. "Anyone can beat anyone, and things can change in just one game."
"We started off the season realizing what games we thought would be hard," Anderson said. "This will be one of them."
And Kramer wants it bad.
