CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Jack Burghardt set the tone for the Crimson in the morning game, scoring eight goals in a tight win over Wagner, before Harvard rolled past Salem by a score of 22–7 in the evening matchup.

Harvard jumped out to a 6–3 lead after the first quarter, with Burghardt and Strauser trading goals early to set the pace. Four more tallies in the second quarter pushed the lead to 10–5 at halftime. Wagner rallied to cut the deficit to two late in the fourth quarter, but three final-period goals from Burghardt sealed the win.

Harvard earned its seventh consecutive victory in the afternoon after dominating Salem. Vilas Sogaard-Srikrishnan led the way with four goals, while Jake Tsotadze and Burghardt each added hat tricks. Sogaard-Srikrishnan also recorded five assists to finish with a nine-point performance. The Crimson built a commanding 13–3 lead by halftime and never looked back.

Head coach Ted Minnis was honored during the second game of the doubleheader for his 300th career victory with the men's program, receiving a game ball signed by the team. The longtime leader of the Crimson water polo programs, Minnis has amassed more than 550 career wins between the men's and women's teams.
