...their second match as doubles partners, Litvak and senior captain Preethi Mukundan pulled out the victory at the top doubles spot, 8-7 (7-3), to give the Crimson a much-needed boost of confidence at the start of the match. “We both came in too tight,” Litvak said. “We were down five-love and almost came back to win our first match [against Miami]. It was great to see us come back here to win this match and win early in our doubles [partnership].” However, that...
...goals for Fairfield, and though Harvard’s 11-point output was also a season-best, it was countered by a lackluster defensive performance that saw sophomore goalie Joe Pike make just eight saves. “Joe was facing a lot of shots from in real tight,” senior attackman Greg Cohen said. “It’s tough to ask him to save all the shots from close, and they took very high-percentage shots from right in the crease.” “He’s our last line...
