M. Soccer Looks to Make it Three Straight

Against Dartmouth, senior forward Armando Petruccelli netted the first goal and assisted on the winning goal later in the match to extend his scoring streak to six games. He also got an assist on Lenicheck's game-winning goal against Fairfield. During his steak, Petruccelli has four goals and three assists.

Always dependable in the offensive zone, Petruccelli is making a strong bid for a selection to what would be his second straight All-Ivy squad.

Senior Will Hench, the second half of the Crimson's front line, has also stepped up his goal production over the past few games. After scoring just one goal in Harvard's first 11 games, Hench has found the net twice in the past three games, including Harvard's lone goal in a 2-1 loss to Princeton and the game-winner against Dartmouth.

Hench's goal against the Big Green was his first game-winner of the season.

"I think we all have been having a little better luck lately," Hench said. "Sometimes it goes bad, and sometimes it goes nicely. I've just been getting the good bounces I guess. [I've] been in the right place."

Behind this newly productive offense, Meagher has regained confidence and played solidly between the posts. Although the young netminder registered 11 saves in Harvard's 1-0 loss to Stanford at the beginning of October, he let up 10 goals over three losses in the middle of the month.

Against Fairfield and Dartmouth, however, Meagher returned to form with four saves and only one goal scored in 170 minutes of play.
