Offensively, the Crimson has 28 goals this season, averaging 1.75 per game on 15.2 shots. Penn, meanwhile, has managed only 22 goals—1.38 per game on an average of 12.8 shots. On the other side of the ball, Harvard’s defense has been spectacular this season, allowing only 13 goals (.81 per game), while the Quakers have almost doubled that number with 25 goals allowed (1.56 per game).

While these statistics paint a blanket picture of the Crimson’s dominance this season, the team has relied on a number of standout individuals to bolster its efforts. Harvard has seen stellar play from co-captain Andre Akpan and Rogers. Akpan is leading the team in goals with 11 and also has six assists. Rogers’ score last week was his sixth of the season, accompanied by his five assists.

But despite a Crimson roster full of talent, Penn remains the reigning Ivy co-champ, and will look to play the role of spoiler in Harvard’s season once again.

As far as the Crimson is concerned, it is Harvard’s turn to celebrate a championship on its own turf and leave its opponent disappointed.

“We talked before the season about how great it would be to win [the title] in front of the team that took it from us last year,” Chi said.
