SEATTLE 2, HARVARD 0

Prior to the draw with the Huskies, the Crimson’s weekend got out to a sluggish start on Friday. Propelled by the first two goals of freshman forward Sergio Rivas’s collegiate career, Seattle proved too much to handle, picking up a 2-0 win over Harvard.

The Redhawks outshot the Crimson, 9-3, in the first half, but Harvard held the hosts to just one shot on goal. However, the Crimson defense—still playing without co-captain Mark Ashby—eventually began to wear down, allowing Seattle to break through in the second frame.

In a span of fewer than 10 minutes, Rivas converted a tap-in and capitalized on a deflection, giving the Redhawks a commanding two-goal edge. Rivas’s first score in the 56th minute also provided rookie forward Julio Rubio with the first assist of his career.

“We were in it scoreline-wise in the first half, but in terms of play, they dominated play for the most part, and that continued through the second half,” junior co-captain Andrew Wheeler-Omiunu said. “They were just able to put away some of their chances in the second half.”
