...scoring continued minutes later when an Adedeji pass and left footed blast by Bent Hinze increased the Harvard lead to 5-2. Papagianis converted another Hinze corner kick into a goal and then took a pass from linkman Demetrio Mena, and while falling down sent a dribbling ground ball past the Dartmouth goalie for his hat trick...
