While the Bobcats took the first point 1:47 into the game, Harvard was loathe to suffer another loss. Scoring the next six goals, the Crimson dominated its conference rival, 7-2, at the final buzzer.
But on Friday night, as the Crimson (9-6-1) again arrived at the No. 7 Eagle’s (15-3-2) home turf, only one goal came. But that’s all BC would need to assure the 1-0 victory.
Saturday’s 2-1 win against Columbia (7-7-3, 3-3-1 Ivy), the Harvard women's soccer team's last match of the regular season, was far from a final formality, but rather redemption after sharing the Ancient Eight title last year.
