Princeton tied Maryland, 2-2, last week and lost to Virginia, 1-0, at the Lanzera/Holiday Inn Classic. The Tigers had not been shut out in 27 straight games.
Harvard's controversial yet crucial netminding this season is still in a state of flux going into the game. Against B.C., Albers, junior Ned Calson and freshman Ben Weeden split time in net, with each goalie getting 30 minutes of regulation. Weeden played the entire overtime period.
"The keepers are doing a great job," Silva said. "They certainly have not let in any soft goals."
Amid the swirl of net controversy, the Crimson is still extremely optimistic about its chances. It's the proverbial big game and Locker Soccer gets up for big games.
"Yale was the game and we won it," Silva said. "Now Princeton is the game and we must win it."
"If we don't win, its basically our last game," Albers said. "We don't have a great record, but we can play with any team in the nation. Our job is to show the other teams that that's the case."
