“We really just had the mental fortitude,” Field said. “[We] didn’t let them reclaim the lead once we had it…it was our mental toughness.”
Colton led Harvard with two goals on the night. Harrison and freshman Dan Stevens also were integral members of the Crimson attack, each registering a goal and assist.
Saturday night’s win against Brown is the first for Harvard in their last 16 meetings, going all the way back to 2006.
HARVARD 16, CONNECTICUT COLLEGE 3
Eight players notched goals in the Crimson’s thrashing of Connecticut College in the first game of Saturday’s doubleheader. Harvard built up a comfortable seven-goal lead in the first period en route to an easy victory against the one-win Camels. Connecticut College has yet to defeat the Crimson in men’s water polo.
Harrison, Wrobel, and Zepfel each recorded hat tricks on the day to lead a balanced Harvard attack. Both Field and Woolway performed well in net, each saving five shots on goal.
Sophomores Robbie Fluegge and Chris Miao and freshman Joey Colton also propelled the Crimson offense, each providing two assists.
Harvard improved its record in the CWPA Northern Division to 5-1 with its three wins this weekend.
“We came in really wanting to win,” Field said. “We really wanted to go 3-0 [on the weekend]. And that’s what we did.”
