Women's Soccer Heating Up at Right Time

Coming off of a slow start to the season, the Harvard women’s soccer team has picked up the pace, earning its fifth consecutive victory with a win at Central Connecticut State on Sunday evening.

After falling in its first two games of the season in California, the Crimson returned back East in hopes of turning things around on its own turf. After losing its home game opener to New Hampshire, 2-1, it looked as if the Harvard squad was falling quickly down a slippery slope. In its first three contests, despite dominating possession, the Crimson offense failed to connect on goal. Harvard tallied a whopping 21 shots against the Wildcats—12 of which were on frame—yet somehow only managed to net just a single goal. New Hampshire, on the other hand, had only two shots on net and converted on both against the Crimson.
