The Brothers Cynar will compete for family bragging rights tomorrow as senior goaltender Keith Cynar's Harvard men's lacrosse team goes up against sophomore goalkeeper Justin Cynar's Cornell squad.

The No. 13 Crimson (5-1, 1-0 Ivy) will face it's second Top 10 opponent in as many games in No. 9 Cornell (5-1, 2-0 Ivy).

Harvard was undefeated going into last Sunday's 14-8 loss to No. 5 Duke. Although Cornell is not as imposing as the Blue Devils were, the Big Red still presents a tough challenge for the Crimson.

The Big Red is one goal away from being undefeated this season, its only loss came against No. 7 Maryland, 8-7.

"I'm expecting a very competitive, close game," Coach Scott Anderson said. "We match up very well with Cornell."

The toughest aspect of this game for the Crimson may be operating out of its set offense. Against tough opponents this season, notably Hobart and Duke, Harvard has had difficulty executing its offensive sets because of heavy defensive pressure.

"We don't think that Cornell will pressure us as much as Duke did," senior attackman Lawson DeVries said, "but we have to run our offense."

Cornell has a solid defense that gives up only 6.8 goals per game. But the Big Red is young on defense with only one senior letter-winner.
