Senior Jimmy Field was in goal for Harvard and had 11 saves, and Lee assisted on each of the Crimson’s five goals.

No. 10 ST. FRANCIS 10, HARVARD 7

In Harvard’s season-opening match, it took on the Terriers, which finished third at last year’s NCAA Championships. St. Francis’ freshmen were too much for the Crimson, as Ilija Djuretic posted two scores to go with seven steals while his classmate Lazar Komadinic tallied four goals. Still, the match remained tight, as Harvard trailed 4-3 at the half and 5-4 heading into the fourth period. The Crimson tied the score at seven, but the Terriers pulled away down the stretch. St. Francis held Harvard scoreless during the final two minutes of the game. Harrison had four goals for the Crimson, and Woolway had 11 saves.
