The outcome of the Harvard women's soccer team's game against Boston College tomorrow is difficult to predict.
B.C. has demonstrated a wild inconsistency so far this season.
The Eagles (3-4-0) played Connecticut, the second-best team in the country, and lost by just one goal.
Lowly Keane State, however, mopped up the field with the B.C. squad.
Which Eagles team will take the field tomorrow? Will they fly or crash-land?
"They're a decent team," Crimson Coach Tim Wheaton said. "They do have the ability to play well."
B.C. needs consistency, an elusive quality the Crimson seeks, too.
It's All In Your Head
So far this season, Harvard has played exceptionally strong soccer, but suffered devastating lapses at times.
"We can't just want to win," Assistant Coach Stacy Flionis said. "We have to play like we want to win."
To defeat B.C., the Crimson must overcome its inability to finish its scoring chances.
Against Brown, Harvard had several opportunities to score, but failed to convert any of them.
"We're working on finishing," Wheaton said. "We need consistency up front."
The strong B.C. defense hopes to profit from the Crimson's difficulties.
Eagle sweeper Heather Hughes and defensive middie Sanya Withington anchor a defense that held second-ranked Connecticut to one goal.
