"We practiced a lot on outside shooting this week in practice," Ripmaster said. "We're probably going to focus on that a lot and not so much on pressuring the box [against Brown]."
On the defensive side of the ball, Harvard will need to keep an eye out for Brown forward Kim Lanzire, the team's leading scorer with seven points.
Lanzire notched a goal and an assist in the Bears' 2-1 win against Fairfield last week. Her performance earned her Ivy League Player of the Week honors on Tuesday.
Facing such an improved Brown squad, Harvard will definitely not have as easy a time with the Bears as it did when it beat them 4-0 one year ago. Though the Crimson will not take the Bears lightly, tomorrow's game is certainly one that Harvard can and should win as it pursues its second consecutive league title.
"Being the defending Ivy League champs, we are the biggest game for every other team in the league," Ripmaster said. "But for us, every Ivy game is big."
