Freshman attackman Matt Primm has amassed 10 goals and three assists in his first two collegiate games. Although Primm had three goals and two assists in the joke that was the fourth period against B.C., he was impressive against Colgate early, getting the second goal for Harvard less than a minute after sophomore midfielder Mike Baly's opening strike.
The Crimson has also found immense production in a duo familiar from last year, junior attackman Dana Sprong and senior attackman Geoff Watson. Sprong had four goals and one helper in Saturday's game against Colgate, and has seven goals and one assist on the season.
Watson has been producing on both ends of the equation, with six goals and six assists already this year.
Lawson DeVries, Watson's classmate and linemate, has scored four goals and assisted on five others, a welcome change form last year when he began the season quickly after an injury and took a great deal of time assuming leadership around the net.
The offensive challenge for the Crimson will be to get on the board early, something it has not been able to do yet this season. Against both foes so far, Harvard has taken nearly half of the first period before finding rope.
Harvard faces a Hobart squad that has been a mystery thus far in the season. A new team in the Patriot League, the Statesmen were picked to win the conference but dropped their first league-game to Army, 10-8.
In recent action, Hobart blew out a weak Lafayette squad 15-3 at home, in Geneva, N.Y. It appears senior goalie Keith Cynar will be facing his first real foe.
