Junior forward Chloe Keating ended the Crimson’s 165-minute scoreless drought, notching a goal off a penalty corner in the 55th minute.

Freshman defender Molly Stansik got the Harvard offense going, taking a shot that was saved by Eagles’ goalie Nicole Barry. But the offensive possession resulted in a penalty corner for the Crimson.

Senior co-captain Elizabeth Goodman-Bacon took the corner for Harvard. The ball ended up in the possession of Georgia McGillivray, who passed it to Keating. Keating received the pass, turned, and tipped it past the Boston College goalkeeper, saving the Crimson from another shutout.

Keating’s second-half tally ended her own personal five-game scoreless streak, which dated back to her game-winning goal against Brown in overtime on October 3.

Following the score, Harvard’s defense stood strong for the remainder of the game, managing to keep the Eagles from reaching double-figures in the game’s final sixteen minutes.

“I think at that point we were sick of seeing the ball going into the net,” Tassopoulus said. “It was a little late but at least we made the changes.”

After back-to-back defeats to top-ten opponents, the Crimson looks to get back on track in its senior night game against Dartmouth this Saturday.

“I think [last night’s game] made us better for Saturday,” co-captain Kristin Bannon said. “We’re just sort of trying to use it as preparation for our upcoming [game].”
