“[Eizabeth] has been great for us all year in the forward and midfield lines,” Hatfield said.“She’s a crucial part of our attack and all of the hard work she has put in during the summer and fall really showed [Sunday]…I couldn’t be prouder of her and the whole team.”

Her last score of the game marked Jacobson’s second overtime goal of the season. Her first came against Fairfield in the Crimson’s 4-3 win.

Thanks to Jacobson’s strong showing, Harvard finished off its season 8-9, its best record since 2011.

“Everyone has stepped up more this year,” Jacobson said. “We have realized that we have more potential, so we are pushing each other to play our best.”

The Crimson’s future looks bright, with strong players –Belleza, Jacobson, Painter, and Freshmen Sophie van Weede—returning to the field next year. Van Herwaarden was pleased with the team’s peRformance this year, but he still sees room for development in the upcoming season.

“I am very happy that the hard work that everyone has put in paid off with some wins this year,” van Herwaarden said. “We will continue to grow and work hard to have another improved season next year.”
