Maybe the Elis wanted revenge. Or maybe they just wanted to make the best of a gorgeous spring day.
The Crimson heavyweights weren't the only ones to fall to a crew that they had beaten in San Diego. The Harvard lightweights, which defeated Yale at the San Diego Crew Classic were upset by the Elis on Saturday.
While Harvard controlled the first quarter, breaking out to a 5-4 lead, the Elis dominated the rest, including a monster five-goal third period. Harvard's defense proved ineffective in the second half, as the Elis sliced into the crease with ease.
With the sun beating down and the sidelines packed with both Elis and Crimson fans, Saturday's competition could have been exciting lacrosse. And for the first half, it was.
Eli Josh McHugh tallied five minutes later with his first of many goals from the crease, but Crimson midfielder Paul Faust immediately countered the Elis attack with a groundball scoop-in that pushed Harvard to a 2-1 lead.
