Miller, Foster Brew 2-0 Victory for W. Soccer

Crimson defense stalwart in shutting down B.C.

The Crimson had control of the ball for most of the first half, and its attacks were for the most part precise and well-planned. The only down side for Harvard is that for all its play execution, only two of the team's 16 shots found their way past Schaeffer.

"We'd like to get more goals for the amount of possession we had," said Harvard Coach Tim Wheaton, who won his 99th game as the Crimson's coach. "But what we were working on was dictating the style of the game, and I think we really did that today."

Harvard now readies itself for a pivotal matchup with Ivy-League rival Yale (4-1, 1-0 Ivy), who lost 1-0 to Hartford last night in New Haven. The Bulldogs handed the Crimson its only league loss last season and could be Harvard's strongest challenger for the Ivy title.

"We're really looking for this break-through game where we're going to start playing well, and [yesterday] is a huge step," Larson said. "This is a stepping stone--we're going to go out and beat Yale. We're just going to beat them down." HARVARD, 2-0 at Ohiri Field. Harvard  1  1  --  2 B.C.  0  0  --  0
