...prove to be the only goal that the Crimson’s offense could muster. Harvard had several good looks throughout the night but was unable to connect with the back of the net after Akpan’s third goal of the year. This was not the only problem the Crimson faced during the night. Senior midfielder and co-captain Michael Fucito left the game midway through the first half with an injury, removing Harvard’s leading scorer.

They're going to inherit that. I don't think it's going to solve the problem. It may fix it for a while. I don't trust the government to do what they say they're going to do."
