M. Soccer Edges Vermont 1-0 in Thriller

Against West Virginia, Harvard was clearly the better team. The Crimson outshot the Mountaineers 20-6 and maintained possession for most of the game. Yesterday against the Catamounts, however, the Crimson was outshot 14-7 and was mostly on the defensive from the starting whistle.

Late in the game, for instance, Vermont had two golden scoring opportunities that would have broken the deadlock.

In the 70th minute, Catamount Kevin Smyth was positioned perfectly in the box and sent a header towards the net. Luckily for Mejias and Harvard, Smyth's attempt sailed just wide.

With three minutes left to play, teammate Matt Chavez tried a similar shot and ended up with the same result.

For Vermont, which started the season a respectable 3-1, yesterday's loss to Harvard was its third in row.

The Crimson, coming off a grueling loss to No. 9 Stanford and a disappointing tie to Boston University last weekend, are in the midst of a four-game road trip.

So far, Harvard is 1-1-1 away from Ohiri Field. The Crimson now turns its attention to the biggest game of the season thus far.
