Wojcik, who take most Crimson corner kicks, was concerned about the blustery conditions on Ohiri Field. Specifically, the corner flag's flapping must have distracted him, because the Westfield, N.J. native asked a nearby ballboy--wearing an ever-so-large Harvard jersey--to hold the recalcitrant flag off to the side.
Talk about the home field advantage.
Unfortunately for Harvard, the referee saw the play a bit differently, whistling the ballboy away and leaving the freshman forward to deal with the wind on his own.
Nice try, Chris.
How Could He Miss This One?
Sophomore Derek Swaim, who also exploded against the Flying Dutchmen (didn't everybody?), is showing an amazing knack for finishing.
Granted his second drive into the twine with 40 seconds left on Saturday was partly the result of Hofstra's second-half sag. But after his third last-minute goal this season, the sophomore forward's play begs the question:
What was Mike Getman, last year's Harvard coach, thinking when he placed Swaim on the junior varsity last season?
