Crimson Drops Two of Three Matchups

Kennifer knocked in three goals for her second hat trick of the day. Shayna Price was the Crimson’s only other player to score multiple goals, converting twice to give her four for the day.

“It was really good for us in terms of getting confidence in playing really good teams, because we know at this point that we can hang with pretty much anyone,” Kennifer said.

Indiana’s Nicole Redder led all scoring with four goals, and Jakie Kohli hit three of her own. The three goals gave Kohli six total on Saturday after scoring three earlier in the day against Brown.

HARVARD 15, GEORGE WASHINGTON 11

In the first game of the weekend, the Crimson had little trouble with the Colonials, holding a comfortable lead for most of the game before pulling away in the fourth quarter to take the win.

The Price sisters scored a combined five goals, and Kennifer added a hat trick of her own to continue a streak of dominance over GW. Harvard hasn’t lost to the Colonials since 2004.

“The Price sisters have really awesome shots, and kind of comically similar shots,” Kennifer said. “They’ve got guns, and it’s really awesome when they come out shooting.”

After ending the first quarter in a 2-2 tie, the Crimson took a one-goal lead into the half. Harvard never blew the game open, but GW also never seriously threatened Harvard’s lead after the half.

“They are much better than they have been in the past…so we were ready for a better team,” Kennifer said. “They came out and they were really good…We were pretty dominant the entire game, but the score didn’t quite show it.”

The season so far has been one of the Crimson’s best in the past few years, but the team has had its struggles away from Cambridge. Harvard is 7-0 at home, but it hasn’t had the same success on the road, with an 8-11 record after Saturday’s first game.
