Senior midfielder Armando Petruccelli and senior forward Will Hench led the Crimson offensive attack with two shots on goal apiece.
But the bubble finally burst for Harvard in the 87th minute, as Cardinal defenseman Lee Morrison, on a pass from Luke Rust, beat Meagher to put the Cardinals up 1-0 for good.
The disappointing loss marked the second time this year that the Crimson has lost a game after being tied going into the final five minutes.
UC-Berkeley 3, Harvard 0
The match against UC-Berkeley was not nearly as close as Friday's matchup against Stanford. UC-Berkeley goaltender Doug Brooks had a dull afternoon in goal, as Harvard was unable to place a single shot on net in ninety minutes of play.
Harvard kept the match scoreless for most of the first half, but was unable to handle the pressure from the UC-Berkeley attack.
The Golden Bears jumped on top in the 26th minute, when Ramiro Arredondo scored on a direct kick from 20 yards away, to give UC-Berkeley a 1-0 lead going into the intermission.
