In a sloppy game against Fairfield, the Crimson executed few set plays and junior netminder Keith Cynar saw 47 shots. The Crimson fell 13-5 to begin its season in the loss column.
Despite spurts of sloppy passing andmiscommunication, Harvard basically controlledthe play for the rest of the period. The Crimsonbombarded Almon with 20 shots on goal and regainedthe lead at 13:23 off a wrists hot from Turco.
"Our first half was definitely sloppy," Hillsaid. "But in the second we switched to a zone andI think that took away some of their momentum anddemoralized them. That and the fact that we werehitting so many threes--Clemente and Beam justcaught on fire."
Harvard, meanwhile begun showing signs offatigue, as its play was marred by poor shooting,poor ball-handling and just sloppy play overall.
For one of the few times all season, Harvardfound itself spending the bulk of the action inthe defensive zone as aggressive forechecking byDartmouth and sloppy passing by Harvard preventedthe Crimson from setting up its potent offensiveattack.
