With the goal by Meeks, Harvard set a new season-high for goals in a game with four, besting its previous high of three that it scored against New Hampshire on September 19th.
“Having four goals means a lot for our confidence, [especially] having the goals all come from different places,” said Colvin. “It’s like opening the door and letting the water flow.”
Thanks to the victory over the Big Red, the Crimson keeps its hopes for an Ivy League title alive. With a 2-1 record within the conference, Harvard trails only undefeated Princeton and Penn.
The Crimson will visit the Tigers on October 23rd, while Harvard will need some assistance in order to catch the Quakers, who defeated the Crimson 1-0 two weeks ago.
“Basically, every game is a must-win,” said Chave. “We’re definitely in the thick of things.”
Any pressure?
“We think of it more as an opportunity rather than a negative thing,” said Chave. “It’s a chance to show the Ivy League what we’re made of.”
