Junior Terry White again added the final goal of a period for the Crimson, beating Gvozden with 1:38 remaining to make the score 14-8 in favor of the Pride heading into the final period.

The fourth quarter saw considerably less scoring than the other frames, which featured eight, seven, and seven goals, respectively. After Lincoln added his fifth score of the contest by beating Krieger with 10:56 remaining, the Crimson was unable to muster a comeback, with its only point coming from Vaughan with 4:37 left in the game.

“We kind of over thought it a little bit too much,” Rose said. “I think our team was so focused on winning the game at all costs that I think we forgot to do the little things…we lost site of the game as whole.”

Harvard fell despite having only 11 turnovers to Hofstra’s 18, as well as earning six man-up advantages to the Pride’s three.

The teams each won 14 of 28 faceoffs, 12 of which were achieved by Crimson senior Andrew Parchman. Hofstra had the advantage in groundballs, 39-34, with senior Matt Hull leading Harvard with six.

Cohen, Terry White, and Vaughan each had two goals for the Crimson, which faces a quick turnaround with its next game coming Tuesday afternoon at home against Georgetown.

“We just need to focus in on getting back to mechanics, shooting overhand, shooting high-low,” Schwartz said. “We’ll be fine; we just need to settle down on offense.”
