Both teams earned five corner kicks apiece. Four out of five Crimson corner kicks came in the first half while Wake Forest matched that with four corner kicks in the second frame.
According to Grimm, the Demon Deacons’ corner kicks proved to be the deciding factor in the match.
“For the most part we kept them at bay, but there was a corner kick that we got caught sleeping on, and it proved to be the difference,” Grimm said.
Although Harvard fell short to its non-conference opponent, the team proved it could stick with one of the top teams in the nation.
“We performed well and created a lot of chances, and although there was no luck on our side, we created a lot of opportunities,” junior defender Jaren LaGreca said. “Everyone stepped up and played well.”
Grimm echoed LaGreca’s assessment: “I think overall we had a good performance, and we’re encouraged by our team effort.We just fell short to an amazing team.”
