Six of Cornell's seven losses were by a single goal.
Cornell's inability to close the door may be partially due to its inexperience. The Big Red scoring attack features five freshmen.
However, the lack of successful finishes is hardly indicative of the general ferocity of Cornell's scoring attack.
"I expect them to play us about as well as Brown did," said Stewart. "They really go after the ball well."
Cornell is as scrappy as it is youthful.
"They're a good team and they play a lot of possessions," said McCarthy. We're just going to have to play our game."
Harvard's game has featured a top-notch defense, led by sophomore goalkeeper Cheryl Gunther. The sequel to Gunther's phenomenal freshman campaign has been marred by various injuries, but she still maintains a respectable 0.43 goals- against average.
"I think Cheryl's been tremendous," Stewart said. "She's made huge saves for us throughout the season."
