...past weekend by an unlikely competitor—at least according to the polls. Harvard and offensive leader Fucito, though, have always relished the role of the underdog.“We’re not really getting any respect in the polls, but I’d rather float under the radar and prove to the others that we can compete,” Fucito said.The men’s soccer team, who boosted their record to 6-3 in overall play and an impressive 3-0 in Ancient Eight play with this weekend’s victory, proved...
