Tellado Strike Propels Men’s Soccer Over Columbia, 1-0

By Jason Deng  • 

After a three-week stint away from its home pitch, Harvard men’s soccer returned to Ancient Eight action at Jordan Field on Saturday, beating the Columbia Lions 1-0 in front of a modest crowd of 365. A sole strike from captain and forward Dylan Tellado in the 38th minute proved enough for head coach Josh Shapiro’s men to secure their second victory of the season – and snap a six-game slump.

Men’s Soccer Drops 3-1 to Providence Despite Early Lead

By Jason Deng and Rhys Greenland  • 

For the third consecutive game in the Crimson’s 2026 non-conference slate, the Harvard men’s soccer team found the back of the net first. For the second straight game, though, its first strike was not enough to bring the match home. The Crimson took an early lead against Providence College on Friday evening at Jordan Field, but defensive miscues and missed opportunities allowed the Friars to respond with three unanswered goals, handing Harvard its second straight 3-1 loss.
