Purce-Garcia Combo Stars as Women's Soccer Ties BU, 2-2

With Harvard’s primary and senior goalie Lizzie Durack resting, sophomore Danielle Etzel made five saves and was credited with the tie. Freshman Kat Hess came on for the second half and also manned the pipes during both overtimes.

The Crimson also took 12 corner shots in comparison to BU’s two. Harvard benefited from contributions from every individual—even those without regular playing time—in its final non-conference game.

“We wanted to give players the opportunity to step in today and show what they can do,” Hamblin said. “We really didn’t miss a beat. I was really proud of the entire group today.”

The Crimson has played two double-overtime draws in a row to add to its seven-game unbeaten streak. Harvard now travels to Brown on Saturday, its third game in the span of a week.

With Columbia playing a nonconference game on Tuesday night as well, Harvard stands pat at two points behind Columbia atop the Ivy League standings with four games left on the schedule. Purce, Durack, Garcia, and the rest of the senior class will be searching for their third title in four years.
