Senior attackman Geoff Watson and his junior linemate Roger Buttles proved especially strong in Ivy League games. Watson had nine goals and six assists in league play, while Buttles notched eight tallies and got seven helpers.

Buttles also received an honorable mention in All-American balloting.

But when the team absolutely needed a goal, no one consistently stepped up. Primm seemed a bit shaky, and the upperclassmen just could not find a shot, or camped out behind the net looking for a setup, not a strike.

The Princeton game was particularly glaring.

The Crimson faced a tough opponent in the Ivy Champions and national runner-up. But in the first period, as Harvard held the ball around the Tigers' cage for the first five minutes, it seemed like everyone was just waiting--for someone, something, maybe a Princeton mistake.

When the shot finally came, it was rushed and from an awkward angle.

In these opening moments there was nothing of the Harvard hunger for the back of the net that led to three goals in the third period.

Frequent stalls in the offense translated into a busy season for senior goalie Keith Cynar.

Cynar, who was named Ivy League rookie of the Year when he transferred to Harvard in his sophomore year, faced high shot counts nearly every game.

To his credit, he saved a lot of them. His .638 save percentage was third in the nation, behind Trevor Tierney of Princeton and Navy's Mickey Jarboe.

Cynar was also named an All-America honorable mention in the post-season.

In a tough stretch of the season in which the Crimson played Cornell, Brown and Princeton in one week, Cynar made twenty or more saves in each game.

All three teams ended the season in the Top 20.

The problem for Cynar and the Crimson came in the overall number of shots the senior had to face. He made 203 saves, tops in the Ivy League, but also allowed 115 goals.

Cynar continuously found opposing attackmen on his crease with a nice, open view of his cage.
