When it doesn't rain, Harvard scores.

On a cold but clear day at Ohiri Field, the Harvard men's lacrosse team stormed over Boston College, 14-9.

The real Harvard offense finally stood up. The dynamic trio of Captain Paul Faust, sophomore Mike Porter and junior Chad Prusmack combined for a whopping eight goals.

Faust, the field general, led the assault on the BC net with three goals, two in the first half.

Harvard jumped ahead 2-1 on a Faust tally and never looked back. By halftime, the score was 9-3.

The second half continued much like the first: Prusmack swiftly took the opening face-off to the goal, pausing only once to crush an opponent with his free hand.

Harvard gave up three late goals, but the game had already been won.

"The team is showing solid improvement with every game," Harvard Coach Scott Andersen said.

The Keys to the Crimson's domination of the Eagles were ball control and hustle.

Time and time again Harvard beat BC to the ground ball. Above all, Harvard executed well on its possessions. The Crimson offense showed patience, concentration and creativity.

Massacre on 'D'

On defense, Harvard mauled the undersized BC squad.

The starting defensive line, anchored by junior Eric Bentley, repeatedly grounded Eagles on their forays near the crease.

As the game wore on, the discouraged BC attack became noticeably more tentative.

Harvard goalie Chris Miller was solid in net for most of the game. He thwarted many attempted rallies with big stick saves.
