"No, I wasn't pleased with how we played today," Caples said. "We need to play better defense."
"We need to step up against teams like this," she said
Caples commented, however, that she was hopeful that the team's level of play will pick up in the future.
"We're playing against the best competition in New England," Caples said. "It will eventually make us better as a team."
"We have to play better," she added. "These next few games will be a real test for our players, how they respond. If we make adjustments, we will be a better team."
Harvard will next be in action on Saturday, and things don't look to get any easier for the Crimson.
The team will be in for another very tough fight, as 17th-ranked Providence will host Harvard in a 1:00 match.
