Romeo, Todd Net First-Half Hat Tricks to Beat Holy Cross

Freshmen accounted for all three of Harvard’s second-half points.

Rookie midfielder Julia Glynn chipped in a first frame goal as well as Harvard final goal. Freshman midfielder Nekele McCall netted the Crimson’s other goal in the second period after a feed from Glynn.

All three of Harvard’s goaltenders saw playing time on Tuesday. Junior Kelly Weis picked up her sixth win of the year with two saves on four shots. Freshman Meredith Brown took over with under 20 minutes to play in the second half, and classmate Olivia Gundrum closed out the game’s final 2:20 in her third career appearance.

According to Todd, Tuesday highlighted details that she and her teammates can improve as they prepare for their Saturday road match at Cornell. With two weekends left in the Ivy League regular season, the Big Red and the Crimson are jockeying for a berth in the four-team Ivy League tournament.   

“I think that going into Cornell, we will keep working on the draw control and ground balls,” said Todd, who has now recorded hat tricks in each of her last two games. “Fifty-fifty balls win games, and defensively, we need to be able to get the ball when we put it on the ground.”
