...tosses of senior quarterback Liam O’Hagan worked for Harvard early. The Crimson took a 7-0 lead on its first drive of the game, culminating in a 21-yard strike from O’Hagan to senior wideout Corey Mazza just 3:22 in. Mazza finished the game with nine catches for 130 yards...

He looked especially precise on his first touchdown pass, a 35-yard strike that fell perfectly into the outstretched arms of senior wideout Matt Lagace, who reached the endzone without breaking stride. “We had a lot of good things [happen], and I’m proud of my guys,” O’Hagan said...
