...easy on them,” Clark said. After the break, Harvard came out with the same intensity with which it began the game, moving up and down the field quickly. The Crimson had two great chances to score courtesy of a pair of excellent crosses by junior midfielder Adam Rousmaniere, but the ball just barely missed the net both times. BU took advantage of Harvard’s misfortune, adding its fourth and fifth goals within three minutes of each other halfway through the second period. “We still had a chance until the fourth one went...

Last Sunday, the Crimson put in a dominant second-half performance to beat Vermont. Senior co-captain Mike Fucito, junior Adam Rousmaniere, and senior John Stamatis all scored beautiful goals in the 3-0 win. “It’s been a good start,” Akpan said. “The first game was a little rough, especially with emotions being high, but we?...
