...Crimson earned a corner kick with 44 seconds left, and sophomore Spencer George—a late substitution—placed the ball well towards the far post, but Rutgers junior goalkeeper Ricky Zinter won the battle in the air. The Scarlet Knights cleared the ball twice in the final seconds to end any hope of a Harvard comeback...
