Brian Gill.
About Harvard
The Crimson carry a 7-4-3 record and five-match unbeaten streak into Saturday. Following a loss to Cornell in the conference opener, they're 1-0-2 in three Ivy matches since including a 2-1 win over Yale last Saturday. They've allowed just two goals during that stretch after allowing seven in the two matches preceding the unbeaten streak.
Willem Ebbinge's team-high eight assists and 14 points place him just ahead of Ale Gutierrez's six goals and 13 points. Oskar Nilsson has started all four conference affairs in net, posting a 1.25 goals-against average in those matches.
Quaker Notemeal
A win Saturday …
* Would be the Quakers' seventh road win of the season, breaking a tie with the 1980 team for most in a season in program history.
* Would be the 30th for Gill as the program's head coach.
* Would give Penn just the fourth 5-0-0 start to Ivy League play in program history, joining the 1972, 2002 and 2010 teams.
* Would give Penn 11 wins in a season for the eighth time in program history and just the fourth time since 1974.
* Would extend Penn's unbeaten streak to 11, the longest single-season mark for the program since the 1972 team started the year 14-0-1.
