Last year, Harvard lost to 9-4 to Brown in the semifinals of the Northern Championships. The team has a chance to redeem itself this weekend, as both teams may potentially face-off if each team wins their first-round matches. The rivalry between the two teams has been intense over the past few years, as three of their last four games have been decided by one goal—including last week?...
