Just minutes later, Harper converted on a pass from Corkery to widen the lead to 10-7 before the Crimson tightened the defense to hold off a last minute B.C. charge.
After B.C. knotted the game 7-7 with 20 minutes remaining in the second half, Harvard allowed just one goal in the next 18 minutes to close the door on the Eagles' hopes for an upset.
Walton added an insurance goal with 2:18 remaining in regulation to put the Crimson up 12-8 and silence B.C.'s last whimper of hope.
Harper added another with 1:03 left on the clock and rounded out the Crimson scoring.
Harvard outplayed B.C. throughout most of the game, but the Crimson had trouble finishing off the Eagles in a game that was not nearly as close as the final score would indicate.
The Crimson jumped to an early 2-0 lead less than two minutes into the game with goals from Frisbie and sophomore midfielder Gretchen Puttkamer.
As they would do all day, however, the feisty Eagles battled back to knot the game 2-2 midway through the first half.
