During the first year of the Gerry Byrne era, Harvard churned out a 2-2 record before things were shut down. That record included a season-opening win over a top-20 UMass squad and saw the Crimson suffer both of their losses by just one goal. Additionally, Harvard ended the shortened season averaging 11.75 goals per game (42nd in DI), and allowing an average of 11.25 goals per game (37th in DI). Both of those numbers were an improvement from where they were at that same time in 2019.

In that contest, the Big Red put together an impressive 10-goal run in the first half before having to ward off a second-half, eight-goal Penn State run. Jeff Teat scored the game-tying goal with 18 seconds left in regulation and Angelo Petrakis put in the game-winner just seconds later to push Cornell over the edge.
