The midfield is led by senior Armando Petruccelli. Perhaps the team's strongest force on the field, Petruccelli is a legitimate All-America candidate whose tenacity and knowledge form a deadly combination for opponents. He is looking to improve further upon a stellar season last year that saw him tally seven goals and three assists, leading the Crimson with 17 points.

At center midfield, Petruccelli can lend assistance to both the backs and the forwards. Alongside Petruccelli stands the somewhat less physically intimidating but just as deadly Nick Lenicheck. With nine points last season in his freshman campaign, Lenicheck will look to be a key factor in Harvard's attack this season.

With strong support from the midfield, Harvard's forwards, a collection of young talent, will look to keep the scoreboard operator busy.

Harvard's attack is led by senior Will Hench and sophomore Jon Oslowski. Hench is an All-Ivy veteran who was second on the team last year with 11 points. Oslowski is a young talent who is coming into is own after a successful freshman campaign.

"My job is to be as productive as possible when I'm in there," Oslowski said. "I define productivity as goals and assists."

Hench and Oslowski have a fabulous supporting cast. Sophomores Mike Peller, Joey Smolen and Marko Soldo are all lethal scoring threats and should provide the Crimson with the extra kick it needs late in a game.

Harvard needs to prove itself on the field, but the team doesn't appear to be lacking in confidence.
