FORT BELVOIR, VA.--You can put it two different ways:
The Harvard women's soccer team hasn't scored a goal in its last five games.
The Harvard women's soccer team didn't score in a 45-and-a-half hour stretch from 4:30 p.m. Friday to 2 p.m. Sunday.
Perhaps the second version is slightly more illuminating.
WAGSters
After battling Cornell to a scoreless draw in Ithaca, N.Y., Friday evening, the Crimson hopped on a plane and headed south to compete in the 11th Annual Washington Area Girls Soccer (WAGS) Tournament.
The booters (who came to Washington ranked 13th in the country) dropped their 11 a.m. opener to North Carolina State University, 3-0, and, well, never did manage to score through the rest of the weekend.
Harvard tied the University of Maryland, 0-0, Saturday afternoon, and was blanked, 1-0, by both William & Mary and George Mason Sunday.
With those results, the squad's record dropped from 3-1-2 to 3-4-3, although tourney games won't count directly in balloting for NCAA post-season competition.
But don't let the losses fool you into thinking the Crimson didn't have a successful weekend--it chalked up some definite plusses in the experience column.
