After coming off a three-game winning streak, the field hockey team lost two close games to Harvard and Colgate and must now regroup as it heads into an important face-off against No. 17 Albany (11-3, 2-0 America East), its first ranked opponent this season.
This isn’t the first time the Red (6-4, 3-2 Ivy) has lost two straight close games this season. After starting strong and winning its first three games of the season, the Red lost two straight overtime games against Penn and Rutgers. This time the Red lost in overtime to Harvard and then fell, 4-2, against Colgate.
After the two overtime losses to Penn and Rutgers, the players were adamant about not letting those losses hold them back and they feel the same way about these two losses to Harvard and Colgate.
