Harvard’s Men's Lacrosse Releases Schedule for Upcoming Season
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The Harvard men's lacrosse team will play five home games, including three at Harvard Stadium, and will face three teams that qualified for the 2007 NCAA Tournament, including Duke, last season's national finalist.
The Crimson will play a 14-game schedule under first-year head coach John Tillman, and will kick off its season on Feb. 23 at Siena.
The home slate begins against America East opponent Stony Brook on March 1 at Jordan Field. Harvard will also host ECAC member Fairfield at Jordan Field on March 15 before moving to Harvard Stadium for its remaining 2008 home games.
Harvard was 1-1 at Jordan Field, and 2-1 at Harvard Stadium in 2007.
The Crimson will welcome defending Ivy League champion and 2007 national semifinalist Cornell to Cambridge on April 5. That contest is scheduled for 5 p.m. and will be broadcast on CN8. Ivy League rivals Princeton (April 12), a 2007 NCAA Tournament team, and Dartmouth (May 3) round out Harvard's home schedule at Harvard Stadium. Harvard concluded 2007 with a 13-9 win over the Big Green.
On March 8, the team travels to Massachusetts, before heading to Hartford for a matchup on March 11.
Harvard hits the road for a three-game road trip from March 22 to March 29, as the Crimson will face Penn (March 22), Duke (March 25) and Denver (March 29). Last season, the Crimson defeated Penn, 7-6, in overtime and earned a 6-4 win at Denver.
The Crimson also face Brown (April 16), Holy Cross (April 19) and Yale (April 26) in road contests. Harvard won a 9-6 decision over Brown in 2007, and defeated Holy Cross, 12-9.
Harvard is looking to improve upon its 5-7 record from a year ago, as the team finished 3-3 in the Ivy League for fourth place.
Harvard and the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference will serve as co-hosts for the 2008 NCAA Men's Lacrosse Championships held at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. May 24-26.
