Princeton put constant pressure on the Crimson defense. Twice in the first half Tiger shop ricocheted off the left Harvard goalpost, but with nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. Princeton remained frustrated throughout the first half. Harvard meanwhile, penetrated the Tiger defense at the 42;56 Mark Captain Lance Ayrault took a rebound of a Johan Aha shot in the goalmouth and fined it past netmider Tom Roberts to give the Crimson the early lead...
