M. Lacrosse Edges Bucknell in Season Opener, 10-9

Living up to his pre-season Face-Off magazine Honorable Mention All-American billing, McKenna tallied 19 saves on the night.

“Jake played wonderfully,” Baly said. “The whole defense played great.”

Junior Matt Primm, also picked as a pre-season Honorable Mention All-American, turned in a strong offensive performance, netting two goals and adding four assists.

An even more impressive performance perhaps came from Wich. After missing a third of the season last year due to injuries, Wich’s four goals are already half of his last season’s total.

Rounding out the scoring for the Crimson were three seniors. Derek Nowak and captains Baly and James Christian each added one goal apiece.

“Our offense really stepped it up and played with a lot of energy the whole game,” McKenna said. “We created great opportunities and were able to finish them.”

Harvard will return to Jordan Field for its home opener next Saturday against Hartford at 2 p.m.
