After a bad week in mid-November, however, the team found itself outside of the top-20 and it quickly sank to the bottom of the conference.

After finishing 3rd in the Shillelagh Tournament, Yale clawed its way back up to a .500 record and then promptly lost back-to-back matches to ranked teams.

After the disappointing start, Yale began the new year more focused and put together a strong stretch in the month of January.

The team took care of business in the first round with a pair of wins over Dartmouth, which set up a showdown with arch-rival Harvard.

Yale scored six goals in two games, but their defense wasn't able to hold back Harvard's attack.
