The Golden Bears then put the game away early in the second half. Seven minutes after the break, Chris Sawicki kicked in a header cross to make the score 2-0.
The Crimson was unable to keep its focus after the Golden Bears doubled their lead. Just 18 seconds later, UC-Berkeley scored again. Assisted by Chris Roner and Kendall Simmonds, John Macdonald beat Meagher to the left, making the score 3-0 for the Golden Bears victory.
Coming off of his magnificent performance on Friday, Meagher was not nearly as spectacular against the UC-Berkeley. He stopped five shots, but it wasn't enough to save Harvard. Meagher was pulled with eight minutes left to give freshman backup Don Mejias some playing time.
For the contest, Harvard was outshot 17-2, with its two shots coming from Petruccelli and sophomore forward Jon Oslowski. But even with these shots, the Crimson did not have a decent scoring chance the entire game. Both of the shots missed the net, and the team did not manage a single corner kick.
