“We have a lot of guys on our team that never give up, and they showed that today,” McBride said

Primm’s performance also left him a single point short of becoming the 29th Harvard player to record 100 career points.

On the other end of the field, sophomore goalkeeper Jake McKenna continued his stellar play with 19 saves, many of them spectacular.

But the Crimson players know they still need to work on their consistency.

“It seems like some days some guys are on and other guys just aren’t,” Vap said. “But we haven’t had the day yet where everyone has the ball falling their way.”

“We’re a team, but each person has to think about [his] job,” McBride added.

Even within contests, Harvard has struggled to play a complete game. The Minutemen scored most of their goals in their initial run and in the fourth quarter.

“We just really have to focus on coming out and playing four quarters— 60 minutes,” McBride said. “Today, we played two-thirds of a game.”

Despite its six-game losing streak and winless Ivy mark, the Crimson intends to redouble its efforts for the rest of the year.

“The season’s not over,” McBride said. “Once you give up and stop playing hard, why even play?”

Next on the agenda for Harvard is a game at No. 11 Yale Saturday night, the Crimson’s seventh straight against a ranked opponent.

Adding intrigue to the game is the bad blood that exists between the two teams as a result of what some Harvard fans considered inappropriate celebration by the Bulldogs after their victory at Jordan Field last year.

“It’s definitely going to be a war,” Vap said.
