Although Harvard had a couple more dangerous opportunities, most of the final 30 minutes was spent in the defensive half of the field, clearing out repeated Ram bids on net.

The crossed ball reached an unguarded Ram waiting on the far post, but his header went just wide and the Crimson was able to hold on for the win. “They created some havoc for us in the second half that...
