It seemed, however, that Harvard was doomed from the onset, as its offense launched several wayward attacks on goal to no avail. “We weren’t shooting on cage and none of our shots were going in,” Snyder said. “We were getting opportunities but just not capitalizing on them.”Brown’s staunch defense pitched a shutout, the first time this season that Harvard failed to get on the scoreboard.
