Chris Campolettano minded the net for the Minutemen, making 14 saves while facing 37 shots from the Crimson.
Although the Crimson will not take the Ivy League this year, with four games remaining, all is not lost. Harvard upset No. 12 Duke earlier this season and faces No. 5 Notre Dame on Apr. 28. Should the Crimson upset another ranked team and improve its record to 10-5, a possible bid to the NCAAs is not completely out of the question.
"A win against Notre Dame would be nice, but right now we're worrying about Yale, who we play on Saturday," Sprong said. "That's all we're worrying about right now."
For UMass, the focus is now on postseason seedings. Besides Georgetown, the Minutmen play No. 2 Syracuse on Apr. 28.
Should the Minutemen topple the Orangemen and walk over Brown and Rutgers as expected, UMass could be looking at a No. 1 seed.
The Crimson next plays Yale at Jordan Field on Saturday at 7 p.m.
