With 15 minutes left to play and the score at 6-1 in favor of Harvard, Brown’s Kevin Davies beat the Crimson defense and caught junior goalie Adam Hahn out of position. He took a second...

Meanwhile, Harvard will rely on the pressure that freshman midfielder Kwaku Nyamekye and sophomore defenseman Marcel Perl can put on Yale’s attack to minimize the burden on standout freshman goalkeeper Adam Hahn. “I’m looking forward to having [junior midfielder John Stamatis] back and well-rested,” Altchek said. “For us, it’s really a team effort defensively.
