Like the year before, Harvard began to launch an assault on its league rivals.The Crimson opened the second quarter with a pair of touchdown runs by starting tailback Clifton Dawson. Harvard finally pulled even at 22 on a nine-yard scoring catch by receiver Corey Mazza in the third quarter.In the fourth quarter, the fireworks started. Harvard took its first lead on a 32-yard field goal by kicker Matt Schindel. Brown answered with Steve Morgan’s fourth field goal of the afternoon, a 26-yarder, and went...

Linebacker Matt Thomas and defensive tackle Michael Berg responded by sacking Maurer for a nine-yard loss on the next play. Shaken, the Lafayette quarterback tried to recover on second-and-long by passing towards a cluster of receivers in the middle...
