...Lions converted two free kicks in the opening 15 minutes of the match. Ivy Rookie of the Year Steve Sirtes pushed an indirect kick just outside the Harvard penalty box to a charging Kazkek Tambi, who hit the back of the net at 7:36.

Ford said he has not yet decided who will start in net against Columbia, adding that "We have great faith in both of them...
