...goals and six assists. Harvard entered Ivy League play ranked No. 19 in the country. “Our defense really carried us through the wins,” Duboe said. “They didn’t give up more than six goals throughout the win streak. That was a credit to our offense, too—we possessed the ball and did a good job of controlling the game in the fourth quarter.” But it was the league that turned out to be Harvard’s downfall, as the team opened...

The first was a gritty win in which Harvard edged the Bears by a single goal, 14-13; the second victory came against Columbia, whom Harvard beat in an easier 12-8 decision.

But with just one game remaining last November, the Crimson found itself back in the hunt with an undefeated 6-0 mark in the Ancient Eight, on the heels of a six-game win streak, and on the brink of its first Ivy title in three years. The foe standing in its way? Who else but 9-0 Yale—the then-No. 11 squad in the nation, which featured All-American and eventual Ivy League Player of the Year Mike McLeod and New England...
