Harvard had some positive moments in the match. They dominated a weak Boston College scrum, and also stole a lot of Boston College’s ball in the lineout. But, they couldn’t penetrate a very well organized and determined defense. 


At the break down Boston College were superb, they had low body positions and also had great leg drive which meant they provided their backs with good quick ball. 


Harvard’s sole try came from captain Josh Copp and was converted by Jean Sebastien Cagnioncle. Cagnioncle also added a penalty.


Harvard will play Dartmouth this Saturday in Hanover. For Harvard to get through to the next round they will have to beat Dartmouth by more than 7 points and score 4 tries in the process.
