Crimson Drops Contest to Cross-Town Foe
Sometimes winning is not everything. In a game that was expected to be a one-sided battle, the Harvard field hockey team (4-7, 1-2 Ivy) held its own in a 3-1 loss to Boston University (6-8, 2-0 America East) last night. Although the scoreboard indicated a Terrier victory, the Crimson achieved a game-high 10 penalty corners and rose to the challenge against a very talented team. “I think it was a really well-played game, an exciting 70 minutes,” Harvard coach Sue Caples said. “Boston University is very athletic, and is a strong, fast team, but we played tactically and executed our game plan.”
CYNTHIA CITY
Freshman goaltender Cynthia Tassopoulos, the reigning Ivy League Rookie of the Week, recorded double-digit saves for the third straight game last night against Boston University. Tassopoulos made 12 saves to hold the Terriers to just three goals on 23 total shots. The rookie is currently third in the Ancient Eight in saves, with 79, and is averaging 7.9 saves per contest.
VOTE FOR MAYORA
Though the Crimson field hockey team dropped Saturday’s contest against Michigan, 3-1, sophomore Pilar Mayora lessened the damage by notching a pair of defensive saves.
Michigan Drops Crimson in Cambridge
The Harvard field hockey team may be reaching celebrity status. The Crimson set up an autograph tent after its Saturday contest against Michigan, and young fans of both teams flooded to get the players’ autographs. Maybe Harvard achieved more than one goal for the game, after all. Coming off of a tough 1-0 loss versus No. 10 Massachusetts, Harvard (4-6) fell to the Wolverines (6-7) at Jordan Field, 3-1.
Crimson Falls Just Short Against No. 10 UMass
The Harvard field hockey team had its hands full last night at Jordan Field, as it faced off against the No. 10 Massachusetts Minutewomen (9-3). Though the Crimson (4-5, 1-2 Ivy) played well and freshman goaltender Cynthia Tassopoulos dazzled, UMass snuck away with a 1-0 victory.
Keating Gives Crimson Sudden-Death Victory
When it rains, Harvard scores. At least that was the case on Saturday when, on a soggy Jordan Field, the Crimson matched a season-high in goals en route to defeating Brown (3-6, 0-3 Ivy) in overtime, 4-3. Coming off a four-game losing streak, Harvard (4-4, 1-2 Ivy) entered the match searching for its first Ivy League victory. It seized the win with junior forward Chloe Keating’s stick 1:28 into sudden death.
