No Crimson player finished among the Ivy League’s top 10 scorers, but Harvard managed to come up with goals when needed.

The Crimson rebounded from its loss at Virginia with a convincing 16-8 win over Brown to improve to 2-2 in league play. One week later, Harvard hosted 3-1 Princeton at Harvard Stadium in a pivotal matchup.

Led by Tetreault’s four scores, the Crimson grabbed a 10-7 win.

“[Against] Princeton was the first time that we really pulled it together,” Baskind says. “There was just a feeling after that game, where it was like, ‘It doesn’t matter what happened up to this point. This is the team we are now moving forward [with].’ That was a really memorable game.”

Harvard closed out the regular season with a 10-3 win over Columbia and a 7-5 victory against Dartmouth to set up a rematch with No. 1 seed Penn in the opening round of the Ivy League tournament.

In its second Ancient Eight contest of the season on March 10, the Crimson dropped a 14-13 overtime decision at Penn. Harvard hoped to gain retribution in its first-round playoff matchup, but the Crimson never came close against a talented Quakers squad.

Harvard fell behind 6-1 in the opening frame and was unable to bounce back in the second, connecting on just five of its 27 shots in the matchup.

The loss brought an end to a season that the Crimson had managed to turn around.

“There were some really low points in the season; it’s what made the success we had towards the end that much more meaningful,” Baskind says.
