Steinroeder also noted the importance of camaraderie on the team, citing how it has helped him in team matches so far.
“The college competition is just a lot [of] fun,” Steinroeder said. “You get to play with the team, [so] you have so many people by your side.”
Steinroeder believes this positive team atmosphere is the reason for the Crimson’s success so far this season and its confidence with respect to the future.
“Everyone’s very happy with how we’ve done the last couple of weeks,” Steinroeder said. “It’s really been a good team effort, and everyone’s contributing which gives us a lot of confidence going forward.”
Felton echoed the freshman’s sentiments.
“[The match against the Hokies] is very important because they’re one of the highest ranked teams we’ll play this year,” Felton said. “It gives us the belief that we can beat pretty much any team out there.”
With Steinroeder on the team, it seems that clutch situations are one less thing that Harvard will need to worry about in the coming matches of the season.
