So far, the Crimson has also not offered the same type of injuries that sidelined sensations like sophomore Pat Marvin last year.

Of course, the season really hasn't started just yet. And who knows what the meteorological gods have in store for the team down the line.

Harvard hasn't even scrimmaged anyone yet, and the troops are definitely getting antsy.

"The big thing now is just playing a game, getting a game and a win under our belt," Prusmack said.

When the team does get to warm up its cleats and go stick to stick with a real team in some real action, the goalie question will have to be answered.

Last year the team graduated netminder Chris Miller, and the void in net has caused wild speculation.

"I don't think that goaltending is our weakest link," Prusmack said. "Everything is just much more positive this year."

Stepping in to fill Miller's shoes are sophomore Walter Sipe and junior Matt Camp.

Bentley said that both goalies have been doing well in practice, and the team doesn't expect any problems.

"Of course it's been difficult to replace Chris Miller, but Walter Sipe and Matt Camp have stepped in there really well," Bentley said.

The problem is, however, that no questions will be answered, none may even be really asked until Harvard gets on the field and does what it has been wanting do for a long time.

Play a game.
