A four-goal, Fairfield outburst in the second period proved too much for the Crimson in Harvard's first away game of the season last Tuesday.
"At Fairfield, we were still in a slump," Callery said. "It was our first away game and we didn't really come out strong."
Tuesday's game was originally scheduled for Mar. 8 but was cancelled because of inclement weather.
The Stags took the first lead of the game off of a goal from senior captain Pete Shanley, but Harvard answered less than a minute later with a goal from junior Michael Baly. The teams entered the second period tied 1-1, but Fairfield took over with a four-goal run that the Crimson could not match.
In the third period, the Harvard offense offered some response with two goals, one from Buttles and the other from Callery. But their efforts were erased when Fairfield's Marc Torrey scored two goals in 13 seconds in the fourth quarter to bring the score to 7-3.
Sophomore Jay Wich scored Harvard's final goal at 7:24 in the fourth period, but was answered by Stag Rob Scipioni in the last two minutes of the game to finish the Crimson.
"It was obvious that we weren't playing to our potential," Callery said. "That second loss woke up some of the guys on the team. We were really disappointed with Penn and Fairfield."
