“I think we really matched up to a great BU team, and we showed them that we could stick with them throughout the whole game,” co-captain forward Elizabeth Weisman said.

While Harvard may have seen its winning streak broken, the Crimson did manage to score the first goal this season against the BU defense on its home turf. Before Tuesday night’s match against Harvard, it had not happened since last September.

LAST LINE OF DEFENSE

Splitting time in goal for the contest, freshman Lizzie Durack and junior Cheta Emba registered two and one save, respectively. Durack started the match and fell just two saves shy of her career high of four.

Emba shut out the Terriers in the second half, registering a save and bringing her season total to seven.

BU had senior Andrea Green in between the pipes for the entirety of the game, with the Terriers goalkeeper tallying just a single save from the Crimson’s two shots on goal.

“I think we feel good,” Weisman said. “I think that we’re just looking to Cornell, just focusing on one game at a time, so we went through today, and now it’s all about focusing on Cornell and keeping that unbeaten streak.”

Two ties bookend six Harvard wins, bringing the “unbeaten streak” to eight contests.

“We’re just trying to improve,” Leone said. “I don’t think about any of that stuff. All I think about is just making sure that they’re improving every single day and focusing on whatever the next game is.”

Of the past eight matchups, only two have been against Ivy League teams—Penn and Yale. Facing Cornell in New York this weekend, the Crimson hopes to maintain an untarnished record in the conference.
