The end of Spring Break hits all Harvard students hard.

Yesterday, the women's lacrosse team had its rude awakening.

After a moderately successful Spring Break tour, No. 13 Boston University jolted the Crimson 15-7 at Nickerson Field. Harvard, perhaps still on vacation, did not exhibit the requisite passion or hustle to emerge with a win.

"We did not come out with the mental toughness like we did against Yale," sophomore attacker Allison Harper said. "We have to find that mentality."

The early play looked promising for the Crimson as it grabbed an early 1-0 lead. However, Harvard would not find the back of the net until the waning minutes of the first half.

The Terriers barraged sophomore goaltender Keltie Donelan to score six unanswered goals in a 12:58 span. Terrier sophomore Rachel Lieber and senior Jean Cooney each bagged two in the outburst, putting B.U. ahead 6-1.

Harvard headed into intermission trailing 8-3.

The second half brought more misery for the Crimson, and Lieber once again served as chief tormentor.

Lieber scored an additional deuce to lead another Terrier outburst--this one of only four goals. B.U. now led 12-3 putting the game out of reach.
