"They were a talented team, but did not have too much depth," Anderson said. "As the game progressed, we were able to control the groundballs and the action."

The last cog in the victory machine was the goaltending, from junior Matt Camp, who, after sputtering during pre-season practice, has developed into a solid, dependable netminder.

Camp, who made a game total of 17 saves, let in eight goals, but more to the point helped turned aside 36 shots, limiting Adelphi to just two tallies in 20 shots during the first half.

Tough Schedule

Harvard hopes that this type of balanced play can carry over to this coming week. From now until next Wednesday, the Crimson play three top ten teams.

But Harvard is not scared at the prospect of this tough schedule. It has its first victory under its belt, and is expecting mant more to follow.

"If we play well, we can play with anyone," Coach Anderson said.

THE NOTEBOOK: Next to Army, Adelphi is traditionally one of the hardest-hitting teams in Division I Lacrosse, winning games with brawn rather than elegance.

That was certainly the case Saturday, as the team collected nine penalties including five for slashing and one for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Porter tallied twice, but he did it with an illegal stick. The Kirkland junior got nabbed for having an extra-deep pocket at 15:00 of the fourth quarter. Harvard collected just four more penalties in the conetst. The Crimson did not commit any during the first period but had three in the final 15 minutes of the game, including two back-to-back fouls for holding and slashing. Adelphi only converted one of the extra-man opportunities, however. HARVARD, 13-8 at Garden City, NY Adelphi  0  2  3  3  --  8 Harvard  1  4  4  4  --  13
