Unable to Capitalize

Even though Boston College frustrated Harvard with its midfielder- heavy defense, the Crimson still managed to create many chances throughout the match.

With just under four minutes left in the first half, Berman used a juke move and a quick first step to rocket the ball towards the Eagle net. It easily beat junior goalkeeper Courtney Schaeffer, but went over the crossbar by just inches.

"I would say that it was just about two inches over," Berman said. "When I kicked it I thought it was going in, but it just didn't happen."

The Crimson's best chance in the second half came off the foot of junior midfielder Meredith Stewart.

Similar to Berman's near miss, Stewart's strike off a free-kick sailed just over the Eagle crossbar after beating Schaeffer.

Freshmen forwards Beth Totman and Joey Yenne each had chances inside the B.C. goalbox, but were unable to net the equalizer for Harvard.

"We were just unlucky today," Wheaton said. "We created the opportunities but didn't finish."
