...knew they had outstanding special teams in general, and we knew they had really excellent return teams,” said Harvard head coach Tim Murphy said. “Obviously the first quarter was a real mismatch in field position based on the two 50-yard returns, but I thought we recovered adequately...
...second half, however, was a remarkably different story. Harvard didn’t start any of its nine possessions beyond its own 25-yard line, started inside the 20 five times, and started inside the 10 three times. The Mountain Hawks, meanwhile, started just one drive inside their own 20 and even began one drive in Crimson territory at the 43-yard line.

...arguably the star of the day for the Mountain Hawks, clearly outplayed his Harvard counterparts.

Standout holes included the ninth, a unique par-3 with a very long irregular 63-yard green and an uphill par-4 10th with a sloped green. Memorable moments yesterday included a nearly impossible up-and-down by Harvey on the make-or-break par-3 15th coming off a birdie on the 14th that “held together what turned...
