After a weekend that went from desperation to ecstasy in under 24 hours, the men's soccer team will face the Boston University Terriers today at 3 P.M. on Ohiri Field.

The game holds special significance as the two teams face each other only days after they both played No. 1 Creighton to vastly different outcomes.

The Crimson (1-2) fell to the Bluejays on Saturday in a 6-0 loss that saw five different Creighton players register goals.

The Terriers (2-2-1) tied Creighton, 0-0, despite playing 65 minutes of regulation and two 15-minute overtimes a man down after midfielder Ikeh Umey was sent off with a red card in the 25th minute.

For Harvard, the game provides a chance to prove it was in bad form against Creighton and to regain respect against an obviously talented Terrier defense.

"We especially want to get a good result against B.U.," said senior Will Hench. "We need to prove that the Creighton game was a bit of a fluke, that we can score on a top defense."

The challenge may not be as out of reach as it seems.

Although Creighton netted six goals against the Crimson and managed nothing against the Terriers, the score lines are misleading.

Harvard actually outshot Creighton, 13-10, and led the Jays in corner kicks, 7-2.
