M. Soccer beats Dartmouth 2-1 for second straight win

Instead of letting the equalizer shatter its confidence, Harvard instead used it as a spark and regained the lead just two minutes later with Hench's third goal of the season.

The Crimson held on for a hard fought 2-1 victory and is now is position for a strong finish that could help them leapfrog into the top two or three in the Ivy League standings.

"We want to finish strong for our coach [John Kerr]," Petruccelli said. "He's done a great job all season and everyday we've gotten better and better. This is the beginning of his program and we want to do well now so next year it can start off fast."

Meagher agreed with his teammate.

"We've really come together these past couple of weeks," he said. "We've started working together and going in the right direction. [The end of the season] is very important for us. We're looking at the bigger picture, mainly next year, and want to be able to build on it now and gain momentum so we can start fast next fall."

Up next for the streaking Crimson is a matchup against Maine tomorrow afternoon at 2:00 p.m. at Ohiri Field. It then ends its season with two crucial league matchups against Brown and Penn.

Although the playoffs are out of the question for Harvard, its evident that the players still feel there's a lot worth fighting for.

"Considering our start and the injuries we've had, it would be a tremendous lift to do well [these last three games]," Meagher added. "A lot of this just comes down to pride."
