Duke faces former star at Harvard

In recent years, the Duke-Harvard rivalry has extended out of the classroom--and on to the soccer field.

The last time the No. 5 Blue Devils (5-0-1) faced Harvard in 2003, they were upset by the Crimson, 3-2, at Koskinen Stadium.

That game was a homecoming for Harvard head coach John Kerr, who played at Duke under head coach John Rennie, was National Player of the Year on the 1986 Championship team and served as Duke's top assistant in 1992.

Now, Duke will travel to Boston to take on Kerr's Crimson (4-1) in a much-anticipated rematch, Sat. at 1 p.m.

"First and foremost, they're a very good team," Kerr said of Duke. "We don't get an opportunity to play a really good team as often as we want-and being my alma mater as well-it's a special, special day."

Kerr has also coached Duke junior Michael Videira on the U-18 Boston Bolts.

"I certainly know Mike Videira very well. I coached him for 3 or 4 years. He's a top-level player in this country and has a big future. So, he's going to be a tough opponent to contain," Kerr said.
