The Harvard men also added two new members to its list of 2008 scorers, with goals by junior Adam Rousmaniere and senior John Stamatis, both in the second half of play. Rousmaniere, who came on to start the second half, notched his first goal of the season by heading a cross from sophomore Alex Chi into the net in the 57th minute. Stamatis continued Harvard’s offensive momentum in the 70th minute...
