The Crusaders are led by reigning Patriot League Rookie of the Week Shane Regan, whose two goals last week put him atop his team in goals scored.

But Rogers feels that the Crimson’s aggressive style of defense should be able to stop this offensive production.

“We’re a pressuring team,” Rogers said. “As long as we do that and not try to a play a different style we should be pretty successful.”

With six Ivy League and three non-conference games remaining, Harvard still feels it has room to improve before the season ends. The Crimson hopes that by adding offensive production from a wider range of players it will become a more dangerous offensive team.

“Right now a heavy burden falls on a small number of guys for scoring and producing numbers,” said Clark, whose team gets 65% of its scoring from Rogers and co-captain Andre Akpan. “I think spreading that around a little bit will go a long way.”

“We have a really talented midfield but they haven’t been able to do much offensively,” Rogers said. “Once our midfield starts to click, which I think it will, then we’ll be even more dangerous.”

Despite this fact, Harvard hasn’t really had trouble finding the net. The Crimson is currently second in the Ivy League in goals per game, with an average of 2.12 scores per contest.

With this offensive production, Harvard hopes it can finish the season on top of the Ivy League and earn its fourth consecutive trip to the NCAA Tournament.

“We certainly have the talent to win the rest of the games on our schedule,” Clark said.
