Men's soccer travels to Harvard Saturday

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The Brown men's soccer team will travel to Harvard to resume Ivy League play this Saturday, Oct. 16 for a 7 p.m. matchup with the Crimson.

Both teams are looking to get back on track after coming off a loss in their most recent conference contests. Brown fell to Princeton at home and Harvard came up short at Cornell.

Scouting the Bears (3-7-0, 1-1-0 IVY):

Last weekend, Brown took a 1-0 lead into halftime against Princeton after a Kojo Dadzie goal, but the Tigers used three second-half strikes to claim the win.
In 2019, the Bears never lost two Ivy League games in a row and will be looking to continue that trend this year.
Dadzie's goal gave him two on the year and made him the only Bear, besides Derek Waleffe who has a team-leading five goals, to have scored more than once on the season.

Scouting the Crimson (4-4-2, 0-1-1 IVY):

Harvard surrendered five first-half goals to then-No. 24 Cornell last Saturday before storming back in the second half with four of its own, but the comeback fell one goal short.
On the season, Alessandro Arlotti leads the team with five goals and three assists for 13 points. Willem Ebbinge has a team-high four assists.
Oskar Nilsson has started eight of the team's 10 games in goal and has posted a 1.51 goals against average and a .768 save percentage.

Series History:

Harvard leads the all-time series against Brown at 49-13-14. Since 2010, the Bears have the slight edge at 4-3-3, including a win in each of the last two meetings.
In 2019, Brown claimed a 3-0 win in Cambridge. That game featured a Waleffe goal in the 50^th minute when he headed in a corner kick. The Bear defense only allowed six shots all game.
