The weather was another factor in yesterday’s contest, as players were often tossed water bottles from the sidelines in order to compensate with the heat.
“It was tough for the defense,” Kerr said. “We were trying to press to get the goal back and they had to make a lot of runs. We exposed ourselves a little bit in the back when we went forward. It’s hard work to recover when you do expose yourself.”
“We were worn down because we were chasing the ball down the entire first half,” Craig said. “We played in much worse conditions down in South Carolina.”
Harvard’s next game takes place this Saturday at Fairfield at 7 p.m., when the Crimson will look to prevent its one-time three-game winning streak from turning quickly into a losing skid.
