While a high scoring game may be more exciting, the Crimson will take a win in any fashion.

“We’re just looking to play our best and play Harvard lacrosse and, you know, put our best foot forward on Saturday,” Wojcik said.

If tomorrow’s game does, in fact, play out as a high-scoring battle, draw controls could be crucial.

Crimson senior midfielder Andrew Parchman ranks 28th in the country with a .542 face-off win percentage, while Cornell’s junior Mitch McMichael ranks 45th with a .461 win percentage.

The Big Red is coming off of a four-game win streak, while Harvard, which lost its last game against Albany, has lost two of its last three by a total of two goals.

“We’re really bummed coming off of the Albany loss,” Gibbons said.

Last year’s meeting between the Crimson and Cornell provided plenty of excitement. Harvard, leading by one going into the final quarter, was beaten in a thriller on a late goal by Pannell.

Whether the Crimson finds itself in a shootout or a low-scoring game against the Big Red tomorrow, their ultimate motive will not change.

“I don’t really have a preference,” Gibbons said. “I’d just like to see us win at the end of the day.”
