Penn is capable of putting up six or seven goals in one quarter but it relies on its offense to keep it in games because of its leaky defense.

The Quakers have a new goalkeeper this season, sophomore John Carroll who does a solid, but unspectacular job between the pipes.

Harvard's senior laden defense and outstanding senior goalkeeper Keith Cynar should be able to match-up man-to-man against the Penn offense.

The Crimson offense should continue to improve against a similarly inexperienced Penn defense.

Harvard plays Fairfield (2-3) in its sole home contest of the break on the 28th of March.

The Stags are not a team to be taken lightly even if they are not as good as Penn or Duke. Fairfield only narrowly lost to North Carolina 12-11 in the season opener.

The Stags can put the ball in the net. In its two wins Fairfield has posted 14 and 19 goals. Fairfield, like Penn, can score in spurts.

Against 11th ranked Cornell, the Stags scored three times in the first seven minutes of the game. Harvard's man-to-man defense will have to rise to the challenge here if the Crimson is to win.
