Another big problem in the Crimson loss was its inability to get the ball out of its own defensive zone.
With the ball around the goal so much the Crimson defense was under constant pressure. Cynar saw 47 shots on the day.
"We worked on clearing a lot this week," Cynar said. " We worked hard and long so that should not be a problem against B.C."
Cynar, the Ivy League's top goalie last season with a save rate of 60 percent and 9.08 GAA, recorded 26 saves in the flurry.
The Crimson offense also had its difficulties, scoring four goals in the first half and only one in the second.
Sophomore Lawson DeVries noted the lack of offense and contributed it to the Crimson's poor execution of set plays.
