The No. 18 Harvard men's lacrosse team continued its unbeaten season with a decisive thrashing of Holy Cross, 19-4, last night at Harvard's Jordan Field.

Harvard (3-0, 0-0 Ivy) started strong, when junior Michael Baly scored the Crimson's first goal only one minute and 20 seconds into the first quarter, and never looked back.

The Harvard scoring attack was led by senior co-captain Dana Sprong, who has a team-high six goals to go with a pair of assists.

"It was a good game for us," said Sprong, "It was a really good first half but got a little sloppy in the second half when it got colder and the rain started to come down harder. It was a good showing."

The Crimson went up 12-0 before allowing the first Holy Cross goal near the end of the second period.

There was little doubt the Crimson would do anything but roll, said freshman attacker Jeff Gottschall.

"We knew we were the better team coming in but we still had to play well," Gottschall, who assisted on the Crimson's eleventh goal, said.

Sophmore Doug Logigian had four goals and an assist while sophomore Matt Primm and freshman Brian Weeks rounded out the list of multiple-point scorers with two goals apiece.
