With the pressure of an important game and Brown's effective defense, the Crimson's shooting was not as effective as in previous games.

"In offense we had unusual trouble converting the goal," Crosby said. "We ended up taking some shots that weren't the best opportunities. The shot came from man-up situations. We usually have a much higher shooting percentage."

Brown's offense, meanwhile, began to come alive as the Bear's netted six second half goals to put the game out of reach for the Crimson.

Despite the loss, Harvard demonstrated toughness throughout the contest and never quit even when the Bear's took control of the game.

"We played really well the first half," junior driver Tom Elke said. "There were lapses in the second half and they took advantage of them. We played gutsy throughout and that was nice to see."

After the disappointing loss to Brown on Saturday morning, the Crimson played two more games on the weekend. In the its next game Harvard fell to Fordham, 7-6, but ended its season with a hard won victory against Boston College, 8-7. For its performance on the weekend the Crimson finished in seventh place in the Northern Championships.

The Crimson started off slow in its victorious contest against the Eagles, as Boston College took a commanding 5-2 lead into the half. Harvard demonstrated much poise, however, as it fought back from the three-point deficit. Crosby led the way, playing an exceptional game as he scored the Crimson's first five goals.
