The rush eventually ended when Geres crossed it to Leeman at the back post for the easy tap-in.

“We knew the whole time they were a fast team,” White said. “It just happened that, that play, things just came together for them. [They] put a couple good passes together…they got forward, [and] put in that cross.”

After a season which saw the team go undefeated at home, the Crimson hasn’t been as successful thus far within the confines of newly-renamed Jordan Field.

Harvard has conceded the first goal in all three of its matchups and has only held a lead for about eight minutes.

The Crimson also struggled with UConn’s offside trap, as Harvard accounted for all four of the game’s offsides decisions as the team continuously attempted to play its forwards through on goal.

The eight shots were also a far cry from the 17 a game average which the squad had managed in its first two games.

But despite coming away from its three-game homestand without a win, the Crimson has shown some positive signs moving forward.

After conceding an average of just over 12 shots a game against SMU and Loyola Marymount, the team held UConn to six shots. Harvard has also managed to outshoot all of its opponents.

Building on these positives and cleaning up the little details will be key for the Crimson as it goes on the road for its next five games, beginning with one against Stony Brook on Sunday.

“I don’t know if we make a lot of changes,” Lehrer said. “I think we just set down some habits, be good at what we do, and improve some stuff [such as] detail.”
