Logigian and tri-captain attack Matt Primm were the driving forces behind the rally.

Junior Alex Vap collected a game-high eight ground balls and played exceptionally well in the fourth quarter, winning 5-of-6 faceoffs. He finished 14-for-24 in the game.

The Crimson owned the second half on the scoreboard and the stat sheet.

“We came out [after halftime] looking to dominate the ground ball wars,” Reid said.

Harvard did just that, winning the battle for ground balls, 20-11 in the second half and 33-28 in the game.

The Crimson also outshot the Tigers, 17-10, took 6-of-8 faceoffs and, most importantly, outscored Princeton 5-2 in the second half.

But a disastrous opening 30 minutes doomed Harvard on Saturday. Just 5:41 into the game, Princeton already had a 4-0 lead.

Logigian got one back at 8:05 of the first quarter before the Crimson and Tigers traded man-up goals at the end of the quarter.

Despite Harvard’s valiant comeback in the second half, Princeton had already put the game away with a strong run to start the second quarter. With the score 5-2 and the contest still relatively close, the Tigers scored five straight goals in the span of just 6:56 to open their largest lead of the game, 10-2.

Primm and junior midfielder Jeff Gottschall added goals for the Crimson.

Harvard will be at home this Wednesday when it faces UMass at 3 p.m. on Jordan Field.
