We have to become a more adaptable team.” The Crimson made the contest a bit more interesting early in the third quarter, when Harvard scored back-to-back goals just over a minute apart to shrink the lead to 8-3. Sophomore midfielder Matt Motschwiller scored the second of the two, but Ohio State fired off four straight goals to push the lead...
...Motivated by the slim loss to Princeton, the Crimson refocused, and, looking more like the team that played on Friday, dominated the Bulldogs. For the second time in the tournament, the men did not lose a single match to their opponents. Freshman Colin West, who dropped his first contest of the season to the Tigers, appeared back in form, overcoming his adversary in straights, 9-6, 9-4, 9-0. “We are feeling good finishing with a 9-0 against Yale,” DiSesa said. “After we lost to Princeton, an awful loss...

If the interior defense for the home team can improve, and if the big men stay out of foul trouble, Harvard will have a fighting chance. Yet the Quakers still have too much talent and will take it by five...
Freshman Todd Ruth and junior Moshe Sarfaty provided the only wins for Yale. In the eighth game, Ruth faced sophomore Verdi DiSesa in a hard fought contest, eventually coming out on top with a 9-7, 4-9, 9-5, 9-2 victory. In the fifth match, Sarfaty defeated junior Mihir Sheth to claim...
