“It was back and forth for a while; they scored at the right time,” Field said. “We just weren’t able to execute as we would have hoped in the overtime period.”

HARVARD 15, FORDHAM 5

The Crimson commanded the game against the Rams from the opening minutes of the game, gaining control of a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and never looking back.

“We just got off a strong lead, and coming off of last week, we just really wanted to come out strong,” Field said.

Harvard was led by sophomore Ben Zepfel and freshman Dan Stevens, who each scored three goals.

The team’s strong weekend pushes the Crimson’s record to 4-8 overall (2-1 in CWPA Northern) and gives them momentum for next week’s games at home against Connecticut College, Brown, and cross-town rivals MIT.

“We definitely fought hard this weekend,” Harrison said. “We knew coming in that these would be really big games for us, with where we were in the season and with how the beginning of the season went. We came in with the right mentality.”
