This type of team chemistry was on display against Columbia, as Altchek finished the plays initiated by the Crimson’s swift midfielders. In the 75th minute, with Harvard holding a slim 1-0 lead, Fucito placed a well-timed cross into the box after dominating play in the wing and gave Altchek a wide-open opportunity to take the 2-0 lead...
