“It’s kind of the glass half-empty and half-full, I guess,” said Harvard coach Ted Donato about his team’s resurgence. “On one side of it, we’ve won four out of 10 games. The other side, after losing two of the first three games, we’ve only lost once in the last eight.”

Harvard (4-3-3, 3-3-2 ECAC), which is picking up steam off its 4-2-1 record in the last six outings, has been bolstered by a nice blend of old and new.
