The giant German 'keeper and captain Oliver Kahn - who made a series of awesome saves and was named as the goalkeeper of the games - oversaw a defense so mean it conceded just one goal before the final.

The tricky bit came at halftime, when he had to convince the dumb jocks that they now had to kick in the opposite direction! We, of course, played with dribbling skills...
With Mejias out, Kerr deployed a rookie, Jamie Roth, at the keeper position. Before succumbing to an injury that landed Mejias back in the starter’s role, Roth impressed during the team’s shutout streak, joining forward Jeremy Truntzer and back Jason Andersen as one of Harvard’s impact freshmen...
