...welcome conclusion to a less than ideal half by Harvard, which had 12 turnovers and five ground balls to Brown’s three and 14, respectively. The Harvard comeback attempt continued into the second period, as the Crimson scored twice, punctuated by Martin’s eight-meter strike, to make it a one-goal game after two minutes of play.
