“It was a big team effort,” Tetropulos said. “I think everyone contributed today…You had [Isabelle] Clarke who came in, got some draw controls, [and] had that huge goal to tie the game. It was definitely a team effort, and it was just everyone working together. It was really motivational.”
But the run wouldn’t last.
Juniors Julie Gardner and Josie Owen scored two quick goals to gain the lead back for the Cavaliers.
With less than a minute in the game, Baskind scored to give Harvard some hope. But Virginia won the draw control, and the Crimson failed to regain possession as it ran out of time.
“We fought back, and we tied it up…I just thought we didn’t have a good handle on critical moments in the game,” Miller said. “We needed to either come up with a draw control or we needed a sustained possession.”
Halpern and VanderMuelen led the team with five goals apiece, and Clark recorded 10 saves on the afternoon.
