Co-captain Alli Harper, who was very impressive with an eight-goal
performance against Boston College earlier in the week, largely struggled to create offensive opportunities yesterday because of Notre Dame's stifling defense. She did, however, notch the final Crimson goal with thirty seconds left in the game to bring Harvard to the final 8-3 margin.
"Alli's really been playing great, but we have to work more on our attack
and especially on our tackling back," Kleinfelder said.
The Crimson, while disappointed over yesterday's loss, hopes to regroup heading into this weekend's Ivy contest at Brown. Harvard will look start its Ivy campaign with a win and improve upon last year's 3-4 league record.
"We learned from this game and the first loss is definitely a wake-up call," Corkery said. "We'll work hard in practice this week, and we'll be very positive [heading into the Brown game]."
