The Crimson had advanced the ball to the Princeton 27-yard line with 8:51 left in the opening period when Giampaolo lined up for his kick. Giampaolo sailed the 44-yarder through the uprights, a career best.
His other field goal was a garden variety 33-yard boot at 3:33.
Giampaolo's previous career high had been 43 yards, which he made twice--last year in a 20-7 win at Dartmouth and in 1997 during a 14-12 win at home against these same Tigers.
The 1997 Princeton game, played in a rainy, muddy muck, was the closest Harvard came to losing in Ivy play that year. Giampaolo went 4-for-4 that day and his 43-yarder, a low line drive that just barely cleared the uprights, proved the difference maker in the game.
The Wind
A fierce, 25mph gust from the southwest played havoc with the passing offenses. All four field goals came with the wind at the kicker's back, and none was even attempted against the wind.
