The Harvard men's lacrosse team's two-game win streak was halted this Saturday with a 16-3 loss on the road against Cornell.

The Crimson (5-2, 0-2 Ivy) had won each of its last two games by one goal, but Saturday's contest was a blowout from the beginning. Cornell (5-2, 3-0 Ivy) scored the first eight goals of the game and would not relinquish the momentum on the way to a 13-goal victory.

Senior captain David Key got the Big Red on the board early, tallying one of his career-high seven goals at the :56 mark of the first quarter.

Cornell opened up a 4-0 lead after the first frame and took a 10-1 lead into the half.

The only Harvard goal of the first half came at the 7:38 mark of the second quarter. Co-captain Dana Sprong, coming off a six-goal effort against Hartford on Tuesday, beat Big Red goaltender Justin Cynar for his sixteenth goal of the season.

The third period did not start out much better for the Crimson, as Big Red sophomore Frank Stands scored at the :22 mark, and Key followed up with two more goals in the span of one minute.

"Cornell moved the ball very well and caused us to slide early, which left people open in the crease," said freshman goaltender Jake McKenna.

Harvard would end the third period with no shots, and Cornell took a 14-1 lead into the final frame.
