Freshman Patrick Steeves, who suffered a foot injury before the start of the season, exchanged the suit he wore for the Crimson’s first 12 games for a Harvard jersey.

A 6’7” wing from Quebec, Steeves impressed at Harvard’s preseason intrasquad scrimmage—posting a game-high 14 points—before going down with an injury.

Steeves did not appear in Saturday’s contest.

“Hopefully we ease him into things as we go along,” Amaker said.

Sophomore walk-on Charlie Anastasi made his first appearance on the Harvard bench. Anastasi, a 6’6” forward, had been practicing with the Crimson, which was left with just six post players following the departures of forwards Ugo Okam and Jeff Georgatos from the team earlier this season. Anastasi also did not appear in Saturday’s contest.

“[Anastasi] been a terrific addition for us in our practices,” Amaker said. “He’s a tough kid; he’s worked hard. Our team really, really likes him. He’s fit in very well in our locker room. He’s earned the right now to be on our team and dress for our home games.”
