We hung on 5-4. Coach Smith started the 2nd half with a number of reserves on the field, reasonably believing that a 5 goal lead would be plenty. But we got sloppy on the back end and Harvard scored a couple and gained confidence. At 5-3 Smith put back in our starters, but Harvard popped in one more in the last 10 minutes. We were able to hang on and avoid an all-time collapse.

Lessened learned, one hopes.

I didn't think you were allowed to put someone back into game once removed in soccer.

Not the case in college soccer.

Two nil over Colgate, now 8-1-1!  I'm watching Ted Lasso to try to develop an appreciation for this game.

I watched a replay on ESPN+ of the first half of the match against Harvard this morning. The announcers noted that soccer and lax All-American, Bruce Arena '73, was present.  He's now GM or something for the New England Rebels, Revolution or whatever, and probably scouting our team.  It's a good sign.

Arena is sporting director and head coach of the Revolution.

While Arena may well have been scouting a few of our players, I think he was there primarily because it was a soccer alumni reunion.
