Harvard coach Ted Minnis noted that it was a defining moment to see the team pull out a win after playing five games in three days.

“We were pretty gassed at this point,” Minnis said. “The guys found a way to push through in overtime.”

Aggie freshman attacker Ido Goldschmidt recorded five goals in the loss. Meanwhile, Colton and Harrison, in addition to Zepfel, all ended the game with hat-tricks for Harvard.

The game marked the third upset of the tournament that Crimson was able to pull.

“We felt a bit shortchanged with our ranking,” Stevens said. “I think the way we played this weekend will give us this respect we deserve.”

Colton found a rhythm early, opening the game with a pair of goals to put Harvard ahead 2-0.

Air Force (6-13, 0-3) tied the game by halftime, but a third-quarter goal from Colton put the Crimson ahead for good.

Colton went on to score a game-high four goals, while senior Harvard goalkeeper Colin Woolway recorded eight saves to preserve the victory.

Harrison scored a game-high five goals and the Crimson used a seven-goal second-half effort to pull away from the Sunbirds (9-12, 1-2 Pacific West) in the Saturday nightcap.

Harvard took an early 4-1 lead, but Fresno Pacific came back to be within one goal, 6-5, at halftime. The Crimson proceeded to pull away with four tallies in the third quarter and three in the fourth.
