Albany
Albany has been struggling as late; they hold a record that is 4-3 and needs to stay consistent on both sides of the ball. The positive aspects of this team is their speed and their knowledge on the field.
When they have the lead and use their speed to attack opponents, they are very dangerous. Their knowledge and wisdom is an asset on the field as well; you can see when they are playing from behind, the players do not panic. They have this calmness about them.
The key factor with a victory over Harvard will be Sophomore Lyle Miles. He has been a havoc for opponents; he is leading the nation with 4.43 assists and scoring 6.67 a game. That is ridiculous numbers coming from this young man.
Harvard
Harvard has been in a down spiral as well. They need this game to build up their confidence. It seems like when they fall behind in games, they lose their focus and confidence.
On a positive note, Goal Keeper Harry Krieger has been more than amazing, he has recorded a total of 28 saves while allowing only 11 goals in 2 games. Talk about an Iron man. He will be one of the key factors with getting a victory over Albany.
Peter Schwartz and Carl Zimmerman will also dictate the pace of the game. They have the ability to slow down the pace or speed it up which would make Albany adjust.
Key Notes
Albany likes to play up on their defender, which means Harvard has to adjust and speed up their offense a little more.
