Sophomore teammate Melanie Baskind matched VanderMeulen with five goals of her own, while Flood added two to go along with single scores from five other players.

“All those guys are tough to defend and in years to come you’re not going to be able to face guard or double Jenn early because the rest of them are really going to put the ball away and hurt you,” Miller said.

After Harvard fell behind early, Flood got the scoring started for the home team, cutting in front of the net and whipping a low ball past the Eagles’ goalkeeper to knot it at one.

VanderMeulen gave her team the lead less than two minutes later, receiving a pass from Baskind in front of the goal and finishing with authority.

Peyton Killeen answered for Boston College four minutes later to tie it at two, but the Crimson scored three-straight scores—two courtesy of Baskind—in just 86 seconds to take a commanding 5-2 lead.

Baskind got the run started after Martino stopped an Eagles’ shot and sent the ball the other way. Baskind finished in front of the cage for a quick coast-to-coast score.

After the home team followed with two quick scores, Boston College could not get the deficit back below three, as Harvard used a 4-0 to close out the half.

When it was all said and done, the Crimson finished with 17 scores, finishing the year with its third-highest output of the season.

“I wish I had a couple games left because I’d still like to be playing,” Miller said. “I’d grab back a few of the games earlier...But overall I am really pleased with the progress of the group.”
