The luck of the Irish did not follow the Harvard women's lacrosse team home from Notre Dame.
After trailing 10-8 against the Fighting Irish on Monday, the Crimson rallied with four unanswered goals for a 12-10 victory.
Hosting New Hampshire yesterday, Harvard once again came back from a 10-8 deficit to tie.
Harvard could not find the go ahead goal, however, as the Crimson (6-6, 3-3 Ivy) fell 11-10 to the Wildcats (7-8).
Junior co-captain Alli Harper scored four goals, while junior Lauren Corkery and sophomore Lizzy Frisbie each added a pair in a losing cause.
With the game tied 10-10, New Hampshire senior Stephanie Keefe scored the game winner with 7:23 remaining in the game, and the Crimson could not find the equalizer in the dying minutes.
"We tried to keep possession late in the game," sophomore Hilary Walton said. "But we gave up a crucial turnover late in the game that was really a team mistake. It just was a frustrating end to the game."
Scoring five goals for the Wildcats, Keefe was the difference in the game yesterday, opening the scoring 1:08 into the first half and then giving New Hampshire big goals to go ahead 9-8 and 11-10.
