Harvard holds a 25-20-3 advantage in the all-time series dating back to 1977 as the teams will meet for the 49th time on Saturday. The Bears haven't defeated Harvard since Oct. 16, 2010, a 2-1 Brown triumph at Stevenson Field.
SCOUTING THE CRIMSON
The Crimson enter Saturday's contests fresh off a 1-1-2 four-game homestand including a 2-0 blanking of Cornell last Saturday. Reigning Ivy League Player and Rookie of the Year winner, Margaret Purce, leads the Harvard attack with four goals while Meg Cascells and Emily Mosbacher have each found the back of the net three times in 2014. Senior goalkeeper Cheta Emba has appeared in nine matches, starting in seven for the Crimson in recording a 0.46 goals-against average and .875 save percentage. Harvard has yet to surrender a goal in three Ivy League contests this season, outscoring their opponents by a 5-0 margin.
