After an afternoon of flying with the Eagles, the Crimson continues to soar.
Yesterday afternoon the No. 17 Harvard women's soccer team (8-1-1, 4-0 Ivy) overcame a sloppy start before exploding for a 4-0 victory over a tough Boston College (8-5) team at Newton Campus Soccer Field.
"It was definitely a great win for us," co-captain Jess Larson said. "B.C. is a really strong and athletic team."
The win marked the second consecutive rout for the Crimson--Harvard defeated Cornell 5-0 on Saturday--and its fourth win in a row.
Freshman forward Joey Yenne put Harvard on the board first, with two Crimson senior midfielders teaming up to set up the score.
Julia Blain took control at midfield and lofted a pass down the sideline for Ashley Berman. Berman sprinted up the field, chased down the ball and booted a nice cross for a waiting Yenne who put the ball in the back of the net.
"Blain played an awesome ball down the sideline and Berman just worked her butt off to get to it," Larson said.
"Berman just ran down the ball and squared the ball back to me from 12 yards," Yenne said. "I just took it and hit it in, one-time."
