The Crimson admitted that it needs to play better than it did on Saturday if it plans to contend with Wake Forest —the nation’s No. 3 ranked team—on Saturday. Harvard will have another chance to regroup and improve before Saturday’s great challenge with an evening match against Providence on Wednesday.
With a five game homestand about to begin, the Crimson needs to prepare to play a full seventy minutes of quality field hockey, something that has yet to be seen in the first six games.
