HARVARD 16, CONNECTICUT COLLEGE 7

In its first game of the day, Harvard raced out to a commanding 12-2 halftime lead, spearheaded by scoring from Zepfel—who entered the day as the team’s second-leading scorer—junior attacker Viktor Wrobel, and sophomore utility man Colin Chiapello.

“We executed on the offensive end,” Minnis said. “We did a good job of getting good shots off.”

The Crimson’s attack picked up where it left off after last week’s 22-score performance against Iona. Since its September 19th home win over Connecticut College, the Harvard offense has averaged a mark of over 14 goals per game.

The defense also contributed its fair share to the victory, holding the winless Camels to only three goals through the first three quarters. Over its last seven games, the Crimson has held its opponents to single digit tallies four times.

Shutdown defense also led to more breakaways the other way.

“Our counterattacks spurred our offense,” Stevens said. “They created a lot of great opportunities to score.”

Harvard led 5-2 at the end of the first quarter before pouring on seven more goals in the next frame. Meanwhile, the Crimson’s defense put up a zero-spot in the second quarter.

Harvard closed out the game after halftime, briefly extending its win streak to three games before its game against Brown snapped it.
