KEASTONE
Junior forward Chloe Keating ended her five-game scoreless streak with a second half goal, but Harvard found itself overwhelmed by No. 9 Boston College last night in Newton, Mass. The Terriers found the back of the cage nine times over the course of the contest, marking the second straight game in which the Crimson has struggled against a ranked opponent.
Kucharczyk Welcomes Challenge of Two Teams
Nina Kucharczyk puts a new spin on being busy, even for a Harvard student. Aside from balancing classes, clubs, and a social life, the New York native is competing on not one, but two varsity athletic teams. Officially recruited for lacrosse, Kucharczyk recently joined the field hockey team as a walk-on after participating in a few practices with the Crimson squad. The key to her success—love for sports.
Crimson Bested by Another Ranked Rival
Nines were wild last night. For the second game in a row, Harvard field hockey surrendered nine goals as ninth-ranked Boston College (13-4, 1-3 ACC) defeated the Crimson (5-9, 2-3 Ivy) 9-1 last night. “It definitely wasn’t our best game,” sophomore forward Allie Kimmel said. “I think we just couldn’t match BC’s strength and speed.”
No. 4 Princeton Hands Crimson Shutout Loss
For the last three minutes of Harvard field hockey’s matchup with Princeton, it looked as if the scoreboard at Jordan Field might need a few extra lights. But thankfully for the scorekeeper, the Tigers attack halted before it could reach double-digits. Playing in a light drizzle before a crowd sporting as much orange as crimson, No. 4 Princeton handed the home team its worst loss of the season, 9-0.

BOTTOMS UP
A worthy opponent for any defense, Harvard’s co-captain Elizabeth Goodman-Bacon netted the lone goal in Saturday’s victory over Cornell in Ithaca, N.Y. The win snapped a three-game drought for the Crimson that included losses to Michigan, Boston University, and No. 10 UMass. The Big Red’s loss snapped a five-game home winning streak and was Cornell’s second loss at their home Dodson Field—now being used for a second season.
Crimson Snaps Losing Streak With Win Over Cornell
After three-straight competitive games against top-20 opponents, the Harvard field hockey team felt it had something to prove when it returned to Ivy League play at Cornell (8-3, 2-2 Ivy League) on Saturday. The Crimson (5-7, 2-2) was coming off three-consecutive non-conference losses to Michigan (6-9), No. 10 Massachusetts (9-4), and Boston University (9-8)—but managed to keep each game within a two goal deficit. Harvard finally turned it around, escaping with a 1-0 victory to even its Ancient Eight record.
