But there is definitely some lingering disappointment, especially since Cornell was thought to be a weaker team.

“Given the form we’re in, we expected to win,” Rogers said. “It’s not the worst result in the world, but it’s tough to go up to Ithaca and [not win]. It’s a brutal drive and it’s cold.”

The Big Red has enjoyed modest success this season, tying the University of Pennsylvania, 2-2, in their previous game.

“They’ve got new coach, a new energy about them,” Clark said. “You really have to give credit to them. They worked through 110 minutes of effort.”

While the Big Red stood out, Harvard’s play was somewhat underwhelming, at least with respect to scoring.

“I think [Cornell] played well, but it was more us not being able to finish our chances,” Rogers added. “People had some good games outside of the box—Andre played really well, Brian Grimm played really well—but even those guys missed some opportunities.”

Record-wise, it’s as if this game never happened, and the Crimson are moving on accordingly. The Ivy League championship, and the corresponding entry into the NCAA tournament, are still very much in reach.

“It was disappointing that we didn’t come out with a victory, but it doesn’t change what we have to do,” Rogers said. “If we win the rest of our games, we’ll still win the Ivy, which is our main goal.”
