Cornell replied with three goals in the final five minutes, including one with only 24 seconds remaining in the game, to round out the scoring.
The win by the Big Red ended a moderately successful season for the rebuilding Crimson.
With nine freshmen on the squad and a core group of young players to lead the team next year, the Crimson should look to improve its record next season.
Although the team's record may not reflect it, Harvard played well against some of the top teams in country, outscoring and outplaying both No. 2 Dartmouth and former No. 10 Yale in the first half before eventually falling in close decisions.
The Crimson will need to replace both co-captain Jeanne Ficociello and senior Becca Brown on defense, but with only two graduating seniors and a quickly improving defense led by freshman goaltender Nora Guyer, Harvard should return as a major force in the Ivy league within the next two years.
