Also key for a victory is the squad’s mentality.

“We have to play confidently” Dwyer said. “I play with these guys every day in practice, and we try to play hard every day. We want to bring what we do in practice to the game, especially in the last 15 minutes in order to come out with a win.”

Junior attackman Peter Schwartz expressed another challenge that his team will face against Quinnipiac.

“It’s always tough going up on the road mid-week,” he said. “We have to stay focused and get ready to play.”

On the field, there isn’t one factor that Wojkic believes will be the determinant in a victory.

“We have a team-first approach,” he said. “We need every single guy on our team to do his job in order for us to be successful.”

Dwyer, a force on the offensive line for Harvard, attributes his success to his teammates’ hard work off-ball.

Heading into its last non-conference game, the Crimson is ready to break its losing streak.

“As long as we play the way our coach tells us to, by playing fast, playing confident, and playing smart to the best of our ability, we know that really no one can get in our way,” Dwyer said.
