“Sean played great,” said Cohen. “He was Ivy League Rookie of the Week last week.”
After the Minutemen made the score 6-4, Harvard continued the see-saw battle as Kane took a pass from Gottschall and scored his second goal of the game to cut the deficit to 6-5. However, the Crimson would get no closer, as UMass proceeded to make its run and pull away.
Harvard’s late-game difficulties were surprising to both spectators and players.
“We pride ourselves on our ability to dominate the second half,” said Cohen. “We didn’t do that today.”
Overall, Harvard was clearly disappointed with the outcome of the game, especially given its recent history.
“We weren’t the same team today that we’ve been for the past two weeks,” said Logigian.
The Crimson is in action again on Saturday when it plays its last home game of the year, against Yale.
