“We were putting forth a lot of effort and really playing hard,” Collins said. “We were going hard into contact, trying to get into the open space.”
DARTMOUTH 26, HARVARD 14
Down 26-0 with minutes left in the first match of the day, the Crimson faced the prospect of not only defeat but also blank-slate embarrassment.
Evidently Burns and Muss thought otherwise.
With a pair of late scores, the duo broke the shutout and cut into the margin. However, the effort could not prevent defeat, as Harvard fell, 26-14, to Dartmouth.
“There was some really incredible and inspirational play that happened, which makes us very optimistic moving forward,” Kantor said. “The connections on the field get better every single time we play.”
