Both teams scored in the first two minutes, with co-captain Kevin DiSilvestro netting his only goal of the game to tie the score at one. Aggie senior center Aaron Salit answered back tallying three of UC Davis’s five consecutive first quarter goals to take the lead for good.

The Crimson showed a glimpse of promise in the second quarter. Ramsey scored his first goal of the tournament, cutting the Aggie lead to four, but Harvard was unable to put another shot into the back of the net, and UC Davis ran away with the win.

CAL BAPTIST 12, HARVARD 10

The Crimson opened its schedule with an overtime loss to No. 18 Cal Baptist (20-6) on Friday night. Junior utility player Scott Gleason netted two goals in the extra period to seal the victory for the Lancers.

Harvard trailed 3-2 at the end of the first quarter, with DiSilvestro scoring the Crimson’s only two goals of the frame. Cal Baptist outscored Harvard again in the second period, firing two more shots into the back of the net. Zepfel scored the Crimson’s only second period goal to cut the Cal Baptist lead to 5-3 going into halftime.

Offense dominated in the third quarter, with both teams scoring four goals. Harvard junior two-meter player Max Eliot scored both of his goals in the third quarter to keep the Crimson deficit at two.

It seemed that Cal Baptist would easily pull away with the win, taking a three-goal lead with a tally early in the fourth quarter, but Roller scored back-to-back goals, and DiSilvestro completed his hat trick to send the game into overtime, where UC Davis won, 12-10.

“We wanted it more than them,” senior goalie Alexandre Popp said. “Unfortunately, they had two quick goals in the overtime period, and we couldn’t come back. It was a good battle, and it really reaffirmed our belief that we can play with anyone in the nation.”
