Sudbury earned a home game against a tough Harvard team from the North division, a team Sudbury had seen in the preseason for a friendly the past two seasons.
The visitors capitalized on a few breakdowns to create scoring chances, but Pat held firm in the Sudbury end. The Sudbury forwards and midfielders appeared rundown and a bit lethargic coming off the high of the previous week and could not sustain any significant pressure on the Harvard defenders or keeper.
Harvard finally broke through around 10 minutes into the second half to take a 1-0 lead on a great run and feed from a pair of speedy forwards. Sudbury attempted to mount an attack over the remainder of the half, but Harvard's talented defense and midfielders created a shell and held their advantage with timely clearing passes and staunch tackling.
Final score - Harvard - 1, Sudbury - 0
It was of small consolation that Harvard went on to win the championship by defeating Peru Sport, who won their semifinal game against the other North division playoff club.
