The Crimson must also watch out for Tom Naglieri, who leads Adelphi with 15 points, and Paul Vlachos, a solid junior midfielder.

To shut down the Panther offense, the Crimson will put junior defender Mike Tauckus on Aiello. Tauckus will use his 6-ft., 195-lb. frame to check the wiley Panther, discouraging him from charging the cage.

Coach Scott Anderson will give goalie duties for the game to senior Dan "Rocky" Chepaitis. Regular starter Chris Miller will sit out for the game.

The Crimson's main task, however, will come on offense. Throughout the season, Harvard has been unable to mount a consistent attack, relying primarily on the playmaking and point-producing prowess of prolific senior Mick Cavouti.

If it hopes to defeat Adelphi and establish itself for the rest of the season, the Crimson must get stronger production from its other attackers and from its midfield line.

Paul Faust, Tim Reilly, Mike Porter, and O'Sullivan must all contribute on offense.

"We can't wait for somebody to initiate the offense," O'Sullivan said. "I think what's going to make the difference is scoring from the top and the midfield. It has to be balanced. We really didn't do that against Vermont."
