"We are not focusing on any one player," said senior forward Henry Higdon. "We know we can beat them."
However, the Crimson must be wary of a team seeking to avenge an earlier loss and salvage something from a miserable first half of the season. Brown will certainly be ready for its longstanding rivals.
"Though we remember the comeback, we remember more who got the win," Millar said. "They do as well. They will be fired up for this game and we will match it."
This is the Crimson's last conference game for Dec. A win gives Harvard a measure of confidence to take into the Christmas break and a small modicum of consistency lacking all year.
Likewise, a humiliating loss at home could signal the advent of a long winter.
"This game is huge," Higdon said. "At 4-3-1 we will be right in the middle of the hunt. It will be a great feeling to go into the break with some confidence and a chance to come back and make a run for the top of the conference."
