"He's matured and learned to channel it in the right direction. It makes him very imposing out there...

...finger early on and had to sit out for the remainder of the game. But once again, the team unleashed its varied attack, ultimately downing Queens College 13-5, with Mueller, Forsyth, and Snyder scoring two apiece. Losing to Hartwick and Brown again at Northerns dashed any hopes of postseason glory, but Harvard and its senior six were afforded one last opportunity to battle in the pool.
