Looking to break out of a three-game losing streak, the Harvard men's soccer team traveled to Oneonta, NY on Saturday afternoon to face the Hartwick Hawks.
It was not to be, however, as Harvard was denied once again, losing 4-1.
Matt Strode scored two goals for the Hawks (6-7) as they won for the fourth straight time, while the Crimson (2-7-1, 1-2 Ivy) was left looking ahead to crucial Ivy League matches in the next two weeks.
After scoring just five goals in its first nine games, Hartwick has scored 12 in its current win streak.
Hawk's junior captain Andrew Sambrook netted a goal and an assist on the day.
"All of a sudden balls that are hitting the post are going in for us," Hartwick Coach Jim Lennox said.
Unfortunately for Harvard, the Hawks quickly hit their stride in their match and never looked back.
The Crimson played tough for the first 20 minutes of the game before Strode turned on a loose ball and booted a laser shot over the head of sophomore goalkeeper Mike Meagher from 12 yards out at the 26:29 mark.
