The Tigers outscored Harvard 2-1 in the first period and would go on to match that result in each of the subsequent quarters.
Trailing 4-2 at halftime, the Crimson watched as Princeton recorded the first two goals of the third quarter, before Harvard finally stopped the bleeding with a much needed tally. But the Crimson could pull no closer, as the Tigers added two fourth quarter goals to defeat Harvard by a four-goal margin.
Junior Arin Keyser led Harvard with two goals and Codini and freshman Laura Snyder each added one.
HARVARD 9, WAGNER 6
Codini and junior Molly Mehaffey each netted three goals as the Crimson opened up the Princeton Invitational with a 9-6 win over Wagner.
Harvard jumped out to a 3-1 lead after one quarter, but the Seahawks responded to close the deficit to one, 4-3, by halftime.
Both sides found the net twice in the third period, as the Crimson clung to a 6-5 lead heading into the final quarter.
Harvard scored three goals, while limiting Wagner to just one, as it cruised to a 9-6 victory.
The Crimson will return home next weekend for the Ivy Invitational at Blodgett Pool.
