CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – No. 16 Harvard men's water polo will head back on the road with two CWPA Northern division battles against Brown and Connecticut College. The Crimson takes on the Bears Saturday, Oct. 11 at 2:30 p.m. at the Moran Coleman Aquatics Center and Connecticut College at 8:30 p.m. at Lott Natatorium.

Streak of Crimson
The Crimson enters the weekend riding a five-game win streak after going undefeated on its California road trip. Harvard played five matches on the west coast, capping the trip off with an 11-10 upset victory over then-No. 16 Whittier. Colin Woolway was instrumental for Harvard in California, racking up 37 saves over the five games, including nine against Whittier.

In 2013, Harvard went on two separate seven-match win streaks and has a chance to match that mark with this weekend's two games.

The Harder They Fall
Harvard now has two upset victories over ranked opponents this season. The Crimson defeated then-No. 14 Navy, 13-9 on September 14 and added to that tally with last weekend's win over the Poets. Harvard is now 2-3 against ranked opposition in 2014.

Net Snappers
The Crimson offense continues to be potent, hitting the double-digit mark in four out of the last five matches. Harvard is now 11-1 when scoring at least 10 goals in a game.

Movers and Shakers
Harvard departed for the west coast as the No. 18 team in the nation. After five wins and an upset, the Crimson climbed two spots to No. 16 in the latest CWPA poll.

The Crimson has been ranked in the CWPA Top 20 since week one of the season. After its first upset victory of the season over Navy, Harvard jumped four spots from No.18 to No. 14.

About No. 13 Brown
The Bears hold an 11-3 record thus far in 2014. Brown has not played a game since it defeated Harvard, 13-8, September 28.
