“I felt we were just a little slow,” Caples said. “We were standing around watching a little bit when we do a little bit better job usually of running and creating. So therefore I think New Hampshire beat us to a lot of balls.”
Another troubling point for the Crimson during its first two games has been the ineffectiveness of its penalty corners. Harvard has been awarded 20 penalty corners in its first two games with little success.

“We’re rehabbing and looking to have them return soon,” Caples said
