“It was nice to walk out with a win,” co-captain Jimmy Field said. “[But] there are still things we can work on, as always. We’re constantly looking to improve ourselves. But today was a good win.”
HARVARD 6, BROWN 5
The Crimson was able to tally two goals in the third period to hold a two-goal lead going into the fourth period. Unable to add another goal, Harvard relied on stout defense to help preserve the win. The Bears were only able to put one goal past Woolway in the fourth period as Harvard was able to cling to a one-goal lead as the clock expired.
Woolway provided four crucial saves in the game, helping hold the Crimson lead even after the offense stalled late in the second half.
“I’d say our defense [was the difference],” Harrison said. “We had way fewer letdowns on defense this time. We played as a team.”
Harvard opened the scoring on Saturday night, jumping out to a 3-1 lead. Brown quickly responded, however, recording three unanswered goals to take the lead.
But the Bears’ lead was short-lived. The Crimson quickly erased the deficit, tying the game at four goals going into halftime before taking the lead for good.
