B.C. managed to run out the rest of the game, as the Crimson could mount no further attacks.
With the core of its squad including several freshmen, inexperience seemed a possible explanation for the surprise loss to B.C. Harvard, however, dismissed any ideas that nerves and lack of tournament play was a factor.
"I don't think that the loss was so much us playing poorly," Wheaton said. "We created chances and played well, we just didn't finish."
"This game was not much different from the first time we played," Larson added. "We felt we dominated the game, but things just didn't fall our way."
Despite the disappointing finish, Harvard recorded just the third 7-0 Ivy League record since 1991, when all eight schools began to sponsor women's soccer programs. Additionally, the Crimson posted one of the best overall records in school history, ascending to the No. 7 spot in the national rankings.
"[This game] was an unfortunate way to end one of the best seasons this program has ever had," Wheaton said.
"We pride ourselves on stepping onto the field and playing like champions," Wheaton added. "We always want to go out there and show how much we work for and care about this program, and we did that today."
