Harvard Grabs Trio Of Weekend Victories

“I’m really lucky that I got the opportunity to make the game-winning shot,” Shayna Price said. “But it’s really a team effort, and [the] 13 other goals really count more than the last one.”

The squad will test its winning streak next weekend at Blodgett Pool, when the Crimson will play host for the Harvard Invitational and face off against both conference and West Coast opponents.

HARVARD 15, VILLANOVA 1

In the third meeting between the teams this season, the Crimson once again earned a decisive victory against the Wildcats.

Fresh off a win against Wagner earlier in the day, Harvard once again produced an offensive onslaught that stifled Villanova.

Nine Crimson players scored for Harvard, and the Crimson defense managed to shut out the Wildcats in the first half, as Harvard stormed out to a 9-0 lead. The Crimson never looked back, netting six more goals in the second half to cruise to a 15-1 rout.

Seven Harvard players had multiple steals against a struggling Villanova squad, and Griffin had 11 saves in the near shutout.

The Crimson has now outscored Villanova this season in three victories, 42-5.

HARVARD 16, WAGNER 13

The Crimson started the weekend off with a bang in a win against Wagner.

Aisha Price paced Harvard with seven goals, but Wagner refused to go away without a fight, scoring at least three goals in each quarter.

The Crimson went into halftime holding a tenuous 7-6 lead. Heading into the final quarter, Harvard held a two-goal edge, 11-9.

Kennifer contributed seven steals to go along with four goals and two assists against the Seahawks, helping Harvard squeeze out the 16-13 win.

“I know everyone is working hard,” Aisha Price said. “Every step of the way, everyone’s just giving their all.”
