The Harvard women's water polo team has had its ups and downs recently.
After a second-place finish to Princeton at the Ivy League Championships two weeks ago, the Crimson were presented with another chance to win a major tournament this weekend.
Unfortunately, it was not in the stars for Harvard.
Playing at the ECAC Championships at Princeton Saturday and Sunday, the Crimson finished with a record of 1-3 for the weekend.
After decimating Queens in the first match on Saturday, the Crimson were set to face a tough Maryland squad that very same night.
Unfortunately, the team came up on the short end of a 12-2 score against the Terrapins.
"They came out and really shocked them this weekend," junior goalkeeper Carine Williams said. "We weren't really on our guard."
Sunday, Harvard woke up with Tiger hunting on the mind. The Crimson wanted to avenge its 8-3 loss to Princeton at the Ivy League Championships the previous weekend.
Princeton had already crushed UMass the day before, and the Tigers were expecting to roll over the Crimson, who were ready to fight the good fight.
For three quarters of trading goal-for-goal, the Crimson would ultimately fall short, losing 10-8 after a hard-fought battle that featured a strong defensive effort by the Crimson.
