The Crimson is now 0-2 versus Brown this year. The Bears defeated Harvard, 23-9, at Blodgett Pool on Oct. 11.

HARVARD 21, PENN 15

The Crimson stormed out to a 7-1 lead in the first quarter to put the game out of reach for the Quaker club team Saturday afternoon. Although Penn played even with Harvard for the final three periods, the Quakers could not match the Crimson’s season-high 21 goals.

“[Saturday’s game] was really about executing our game plan and just playing a perfect game in the sense that we’re not making errors and capitalizing upon [Penn’s errors]. I think we did a good job of capitalizing on their errors, but we did get a little soft or complacent on the defensive end,” Roller said. “They scored a few more goals than we would have liked.”

After falling behind by six goals in the first quarter, Penn crept within four with a 4-2 run in the second. But that was the closest the Quakers got to Harvard as the Crimson outscored Penn by one goal in each of the final two frames to clinch the 21-15 win and a spot in the tournament’s semifinal.

Roller led all scorers with a career-high five goals. Freshman attacker Robbie Fluegge also established a career-high with four, and freshmen attackers Ben Zepfel and Lee contributed a pair of hat tricks. On defense, Fluegge and sophomore utility Thomas McNulty led the Crimson with four and three steals, respectively. Field and Woolway combined for eight saves.
