The Aggies took advantage of two strong quarters to build a 10-3 lead at halftime.

Although the Crimson did a better job of staying with UC Davis in the second frame, Harvard could never muster the offense to breach the deficit.

HARVARD 16, FRESNO PACIFIC 6

Playing against the Sunbirds (1-17) in earlier action on Monday, the Crimson rode strong performances from co-captain Aisha Price and freshman Charlotte Hendrix all the way to a ten-goal win.

Price led all scoring with five tallies, and Hendrix found the back of the net four times. Although their combined offense would have been enough, five other players scored to give Harvard its most goals in a game for nearly a month.

With the score tied 1-1 early in the first period, the Crimson went on a five-goal run to seize a commanding lead. The margin was still five at intermission, but Harvard doubled its lead over the course of the second half to coast to victory.

The Crimson excelled defensively in all four quarters, racking up 16 steals. Dukes also amassed seven saves for the third game in a row.

HARVARD 11, OCCIDENTAL 7

The Crimson captured its second win in as many games on Sunday in the form of an 11-7 victory over Occidental (6-14).

Sound defense in the first two quarters gave Harvard a 5-1 lead at the halfway mark. The teams would play an even second frame with six goals scored apiece, but the Tigers could never overcome the early Crimson lead.

The Price sisters fueled the Harvard offense in the victory, with both Shayna and Aisha contributing a hat trick.

Eight Crimson players combined to total 12 steals, and seven assists came from seven different swimmers.

“It’s a total team effort out there,” Minnis said. “All ten girls play; all ten girls are out there working hard. If you look at our scoring, it’s not just one person carrying the load. We spread it out pretty well.”

HARVARD 11, SANTA CLARA 10

The Crimson began its trip to the West Coast with a dramatic one-goal victory over Santa Clara (11-11).
