Nyquist Nets Game Winner, Men’s Soccer Shuts Out Yale, 1-0

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – Junior Nicholas Nyquist scored his first career game-winning goal, junior goalkeeper Lucian Wood notched his first shutout of the season, and Harvard University men's soccer topped Yale University, 1-0, on Saturday night at Reese Stadium.
 
Following a scoreless first half, the Crimson (2-4-4, 1-2-0 Ivy) broke through in the 49th minute on Nyquist's tally, and the visitors successfully defended against 16 shots and nine corner kicks from the Bulldogs (4-6-1, 1-2-0 Ivy) over the course of the match, including 12 shots and eight corners in the second half.
 
Nyquist notched his second goal of the season while juniors Juho Ojanen and Zachary Sardi-Santos each provided assists on the marker. Harvard posted its second clean sheet as a team in 2024.
