"Our offense was hurt by a lot of double teams, while they found the open players," Harper said. "We made too many offensive and deffensive mistakes."
The loss damaged more than the Crimson's pride.Harper, one of the team's top attackers, spent the second half on the sidelines icing down her ankles.Later tests proved that she tore ligaments, and she is expected to miss a couple of weeks.
Freshman midfielder Heather Gotha also left the game with an apparently serious injury, but there was no offical word on the extent of the damage.
These injuries are in addition to freshman defenseman Hilary Walton and freshman attacker Heather Hussey, who both missed the game with ailments.
