Women's Lax Falls Short of Tourney
After getting the job done in New York, the Crimson’s fate now lay in the hands of two conference rivals. If No. 6 Penn and No. 7 Dartmouth came away with victories the next day, Harvard would sneak into the fourth spot.

Frosh Spurs Lax Attack
Even to this day, freshman Danielle Tetreault remembers the frustration she experienced trying to stop classmate Jennifer VanderMeulen when the two squared off against each other in high school lacrosse matches.

Young Cyr
Freshman Micaela Cyr, shown here in earlier action, led the team in draw controls against Virginia last night. The Crimson built up an early lead but a late first half run put the Cavaliers ahead and they never looked back. Harvard will look to rebound off this loss against Holy Cross next week.
