Men’s Soccer Rallies to Earn Point in 2-2 Draw at Princeton

PRINCETON, N.J. – Harvard University men's soccer scored twice in the final 25 minutes behind goals from sophomore Ludovico Rollo and junior James Fahmy to rally from a 2-0 deficit and earn a point in a 2-2 draw at Princeton University on Saturday afternoon at Roberts Stadium.
 
Facing a 1-0 deficit at halftime and a 2-0 margin in the 46th minute, the Crimson (8-4-4, 2-1-3 Ivy) rallied behind a goal from Rollo in the 66th minute and an equalizer from Fahmy in the 85th minute to end on level terms with the host Tigers (6-5-4, 1-2-3 Ivy).
 
Harvard extended its unbeaten streak to seven contests, moving to 4-0-3 overall during that span. The Crimson – ranked No. 36 in this week's RPI – has posted an undefeated 2-0-3 Ivy League mark over its last five conference matches in a league that has the fourth-highest conference RPI in the nation.
