The Crimson had a number of chances to regain the lead throughout the remainder of second period, but was unable to capitalize on its opportunities.

Less than six minutes after Siena evened the score, Sheeleigh responded with two shots, but neither try was able to get past Saint keeper Elizabeth Barna, who replaced Ettinger in goal at halftime.

In the 60th minute, junior Melanie Baskind had another chance to give Harvard the lead when she was awarded a penalty kick after Siena was whistled for a handball.

But Barna denied Baskind’s attempt.

After neither team attempted a shot on goal over the next 27 minutes of play, the Crimson had one last scoring opportunity in the final minutes of regulation.

With just 3:08 left in regulation, Harvard freshman Elizabeth Weisman fired a shot at goal, but Barna managed to knock it away with a diving save, sending the contest into overtime.

The Crimson had one chance early in the extra period, earning a corner kick in the 94th minute. But Harvard was unable to get a shot off, and Siena answered with the game-winning score less than a minute later.

“It basically came down to today they played better,” Price said. “I think that it was a heartbreaking loss but we’re just going to try to keep working and pull out a win this weekend.”
