"They're a fast team, a team that drives a lot," Masterson said. "But we were able to stay with them. I don't think they scored off a set play for the game, mostly on breaks and counterattacks."
Sophomore Paul Tselentis, continuing to thrive as half of Harvard's two-headed netminder, excelled in goal. He had 12 crucial blocks for the Crimson.
"He was a big reason we won this game, if not the biggest reason," Masterson said. "Paul was phenomenal."
Cheng gave added credit to the coaching staff for its pregame preparation.
"Today, we were very mentally focused, and the coaches game us a great scouting report on Navy," Cheng said. "We knew what we could do against them, and just put forth a tremendous team effort."
The victory over Navy speaks volumes about the team's improvement from a year ago. The Midshipmen are the only CWPA team that has beaten UMass this year. They did so twice, including once this weekend.
Navy also had wins over No. 14 Queens and No. 17 Princeton under its belt.
