Notre Dame Edges M. Lax

Upset over No. 12 Irish slips away in fourth quarter

It was the first of Watson's team-leading three assists on the day.

Primm notched his first of the day with only 19 seconds left in the initial period, as the Crimson entered the first intermission with a 4-2 lead and some offensive momentum.

DeVries and Primm both scored in extra-man situations.

Commanding leads and long periods of offensive momentum have been rare in recent weeks. The difference yesterday was in the level of execution. After a full week of practice, the Crimson looked more confident around Notre Dame's cage and more fluid in transition.

After being horrendously outshot during its six-game slump, Harvard had 30 shots on the day to the Irish's 33.

Yesterday's offensive production stood in stark contrast to the Crimson's most recent performance, in which the Crimson was outshot 85-44 in two games against UMass and Yale two weeks ago.

On the clear, another part of the Crimson's game that has been spotty lately, the Crimson converted 18 of 22 attempts.
