Harvard had an interesting game last time around as Deke Burns put in an outstanding performance against UMass. With 7 goals for Burns, Harvard looks to sneak through another tough game as they play Duke on Saturday, February 28th. Duke enters the game being ranked 6th Nationally, while Harvard continues with a National Rank of 10 (Coaches Poll).
This will be an interesting match up for Harvard, seeing how close of a game they played against the Minutemen. However it did appear that UMass had their offense in order. Deke Burns lead the team by scoring 7 goals in the opening game. Behind him, Dwyer and Walker contributed 2 goals each. Expect Dwyer to see more chances as he only attempted 4 shots on goal the entire game.
For Duke, keep an eye out for Myles Jones and Justin Guterding. The two have already contributed for a total of 40 points in just the first four games on the year. However, saying that, Duke has the upper hand in the Saturday matinee. With the Blue Devils already four games into the 2015 season, they certainly have the talent to overpower Harvard. Harvard had struggled defensively against the Minutemen, and in just their second game on the year, it will be challenging for them to match up with a high powered offense that Duke has.
The game will be broadcasted on ESPN3 with a starting time of 12:00 pm.
