By the middle of October, Nick Lenicheck had seen enough.
The Harvard men's soccer team had been outscored 14-4 in the first three weeks of the month while registering a 0-5-1 record.
Someone--anyone--needed to start scoring consistently.
Lenicheck stepped up.
In the final five games of the season, the Crimson went 4-1behind the sophomore midfielder's four goals and three assists. Of his four tallies, three were game-winners.
Against Fairfield on Oct. 26, Lenicheck hit the game-winner in the 29th minute and assisted on another in the 74th minute.
In the Crimson's Nov. 2 match against Maine, Lenicheck struck Harvard's first goal in the 22nd minute and assisted on two other goals to give the team its third straight win--its longest streak of the season. His four points against the Black Bears were the most by a Harvard player in a game this fall. His two assists gave him six for the season, making him the Crimson's assist leader for the second season in a row.
This Saturday, Lenicheck scored two goals in a 4-3 win against Penn on Senior Day at Ohiri, including the game winner on a dramatic header in the 80th minute.
