"That kind of gave us some extra motivation to win today," Totman added. "The win was definitely sweet."
And with the win over the top 10 Cougars, the Crimson will likely see itself rising in the rankings, and getting the respect it feels it deserves.
Rain, Rain Go Away
"It was really hard to see the ball, especially in the first half with the wind in our face," Totman said.
"It was cold and windy out there, but while you are playing you don't really think about it," Larson said. "But towards the end I wasn't getting much action on defense, so I started to get cold."
Furthermore, the field was completely drenched, having soaked up the rain for hours before the game. Players were slipping and sliding throughout the contest, and the middle of the pitch was littered with puddles two inches deep.
"It was impossible to move the ball in the midfield with all of the puddles," Totman said. "The ball would either stand still or skid on the wet grass. It was really difficult to read the ball."
But despite the less than ideal playing conditions, Harvard was able to wade through the mud and come through with its biggest win of the year.
