The Harvard women's lacrosse team dropped a heart-breaking loss to Yale in a tight game on Sunday at Jordan Field.

The Crimson and the Elis traded goals the entire game, never allowing more than a two-goal lead on either side. The game was decided in the final two seconds when Yale senior Katherine Myers found the net on a pass from sophomore Sarah Queener to give the Elis the 10-9 win.

"We played a really great game," said junior Melissa Christino. "It was a fluke shot at the very end."

The Elis (7-0, 3-0 Ivy) took an early 2-0 lead in the game, but the Crimson (4-3, 0-2 Ivy) retaliated with a three-goal rally, including two goals from senior co-captain Allison Harper. Sophomore Sophie Melniker tallied a goal and an assist for Yale to bring the score to 4-3 in favor of the team from New Haven. Then, with 10 seconds left in the half, Harper netted a goal to tie the game, 4-4.

Yale began the second half with sophomore Clarissa Clarke on the sideline for a check to the head of Harvard co-captain Megan Austin at the buzzer of the first half. Harper struck first in the half with an unassisted goal to give Harvard the first lead at 2:20.

The teams then scored two goals each. Harvard got goals from sophomore Katie Shaughnessy and junior Lizzy Frisbie to bring the score to 7-6 in favor of the Crimson.

Yale sophomore Caroline Petrovick scored at 14:52 to knot the game at seven, but Harvard's Shaughnessy scored a goal from her weak side off of a pass from Christino to give Harvard the 8-7 lead 16:42 into the second half.

The middle of the second half was highlighted by excellent transitional defense from both teams, as well as two great saves from Harvard sophomore goaltender Nora Guyer.
