"I like that aspect," Carella said. "It makes the game more exciting."
The team's previous match, last Tuesday, was also a night game. Away against Maine, Harvard won 5-1 in what may have been their best all around play this season. By the end of the half, the Crimson was dominating the game 4-0.
Junior forward Tom McLaughlin, who leads the Ivy League in scoring with 24 points and gave Harvard its second hat trick of the year in the game against Maine, hopes the team will come out with the same intensity it has shown in other games.
"Everybody is refreshed," Silva said. "We're going to come out on the attack."
Sophomore goalie Jordan Dupuis and senior goalie Peter Albers are expected to bar the Tigers' advance. Their combined play is one of the many reasons for the Crimson's success.
"Everyone wants to continue the trend we've been on of winning game in and game out," Carella said.
The Crimson will take this winning attitude into Princeton tonight.
