Freshman Joe Fryatt has started both games in net. He played the full 90 minutes against Quinnipiac and just the first half against Boston University. He's made three saves on the season.
Scouting the Crimson
Harvard opens its season on Aug. 31 at Albany. Last year, the Crimson finished 2-10-4 overall and 1-4-2 in Ivy League play. Harvard returns three of its top five point scorers from last season, including Philip Hausen (three goals, three assists), Paolo Belloni-Urso (two goals, one assist) and Matthew Glass (one goal). Goalkeeper Kyle Parks, who started 14 games last season, graduated. Sophomore Matt Freese made three appearances in net, making seven saves.
Scouting the Friars
The Friars opened the season strong, knocking off No. 8 SMU in double overtime (Aug. 24). Junior Alex DaCosta (Bristol, R.I.) scored the game-winner in the 104th minute. Redshirt junior Tiago Mendonca (Faro, Portugal) scored the Friars' other goal in the victory. Colin Miller (Bel Air, Md.) made seven saves and was key in helping Providence defeat the Mustangs. On Sunday (Aug. 26), the University of Illinois at Chicago handed the Friars a 3-0 loss. Propelled by two goals in the final 10 minutes of regulation, the Flames ended up capturing the SMU Tournament title. Miller and DaCosta were both named to the SMU All-Tournament Team for their efforts.
