Next came losses at Vermont, Rhode Island, and New Hampshire. Three winnable games. Three close games. Still, three losses. The ever important "road win" was becoming more downright elusive.
Last night in Eli country, it was time to prove something. It was time to prove that Harvard could win on the road. It was time to prove that they are the best team in the Ivies.
The good teams take care of the home games. The great ones steal victories on the road.
The Crimson took that step towards greatness last night.
Pretty good night at the office.
