With the win, Harvard increased its unbeaten streak to seven games and, more importantly, showed the ability to step up under pressure.

"We are really excited that we won, especially since we started out playing so poorly," Larson said. "The most important thing about this game was that we were able to pull ourselves out of our bad play. It shows a lot of character."

With its incredible defensive play and its offense beginning to roll, Harvard's confidence is extremely high. The Crimson is aware, however, that much of the season still remains, and many difficult opponents lie ahead.

"We are excited, but we still have a long way to go," Larson said. "There are still a lot of teams still left in our region that we have to play, like UConn and B.U., and we still have some important Ivy games."

Before facing these foes, however, Harvard flies to beautiful, sunny Miami, Fla. There the Crimson will take on the University of Miami and Butler, two young but tough teams.

"UM and Butler are both solid, but very young," Larson said. "We are confident that we can do well, and are pumped to Florida."
