"[Losing Chelius] hurt us because she was playing with a lot of fire," sophomore Megan Colligan said.

Inauspicious Start: Saturday's semifinal game between Harvard and Virginia started inauspiciously for both teams.

The Cavaliers appeared to have scored first when senior Heather Goehirger broke through the Crimson defense and slipped one past Williamson. Officials called the goal back, however, because Goehinger stepped into Harvard's crease before shooting.

The same thing happened to junior Jo Ann Alissi who tallied thirty seconds later but had her goal called back for a crease violation.

Berkery scored her only goal of the game one minute later, and this time it counted.

Right after Berkery tallied, Cavalier junior Nicole McNichol fell down with an injury to her shoulder. Officials called the paramedics, who examined her and escorted her off the the field. NcNichol returned to the game later in the half, however.
