WORCESTER, Mass. – Connor McCarthy
tallied his first-career goal, while Brett Conrad made three saves
to earn the shutout, as the Harvard men's soccer team earned
a 1-0 road victory at Holy Cross Wednesday evening. The

Following a scoreless first half, in which Harvard earned all

Conrad recorded two of his three saves in the second half, helping
the Crimson to its second straight 1-0 shutout. Harvard
