Jordan field is already paying off for the Harvard women's lacrosse team.
The Crimson (2-0, 0-0 Ivy) seemed more than at home in its new digs as it dispatched Boston College (1-2) 13-9 to capture the home opener.
"It's a big win for us," said junior co-captain Ali Harper. "It's really important for us because it sets the tone for the entire season, and to win in front of our home fans is a bonus."
Junior midfielder Lauren Corkery and sophomore attacker Lizzy Frisbie knotted hat tricks, while Harper and sophomore defender Hilary Walton each had a pair in the offensive display.
Freshman goaltender Nora Guyer was also impressive between the pipes.
Guyer allowed just six goals and collected 10 saves, denying the Eagles that elusive go-ahead goal after B.C. rallied to tie the game midway through the second half.
With the game deadlocked 7-7 and B.C. gaining momentum, Corkery exploded for a pair of goals 37 seconds apart to put the Crimson ahead 9-7 and stop the Eagle run.
