In addition to the large shot differential, Connecticut managed nine corner kicks, compared to just one for Harvard.

“I don’t think anyone’s really worried about [the shot differential],” Millock said. “Obviously we’d like to create more opportunities, but whenever they got behind us we never really felt the shots they were taking were quality shots, with the exception of their set pieces and corner kicks.”

Harms finished with three saves in four attempts, many with a rowdy Huskie student section at his back–a significantly better performance than the one he put forward in Storrs last season, when he allowed four UConn goals in a defeat.

“Their student section is great,” Millock said. “Last year they kind of got underneath our skin and rattled us a bit. This year we knew it was coming, we were ready for them, and we tried to use it as motivation.”

“This was the one game where everyone was looking forward to having a rematch against them after the events of last year,” Chi added. “We got the job done, we got a result, so overall we’re satisfied as a team.”
