Ancient Foe Provides Chance to Rebound

“Now it’s about finding our identity, individually and collectively,” Biega said. “Once we establish that, we can put wins together, and when we’re playing well, we can beat any team in the country.”

Harvard has had moments of brilliance throughout its season—namely, its three-game winning streak against Yale, Dartmouth, and Union, which was followed by an overtime 3-3 tie against Rensselaer. The trick will be in taking these moments of brilliance and extending them over the course of a season, or at least another game.

The Crimson has the talent, just not yet the consistency.

“It’s easy to forget the game plan and panic if we go down a couple goals,” Rogers said. “But against [Brown] we need to come ready to play and stick to the strategy.”

For Rogers, Biega, and the four remaining seniors on the team, the game against Brown—and the eight match-ups following it—mark not only the end of their season, but the end of their career at Harvard.

“We have 9 games total left to play and win,” Biega said. “We’re not taking anything for granted.”
