We stayed with them.”Harvard did stay within striking distance the entire game—the lead swelled to no larger than three goals at any point. But a scoring drought of over 30 minutes spanning three quarters proved to be the Crimson’s undoing.“In the second half our offense was a little flat, and the defense played a little bit better, but the total didn’t quite...
