Durack, Harvard’s primary goalkeeper, has also anchored the team well during her 540 minutes of action on the season. She has two shutouts to her name, on top of a 5-2 goalie record, a 77% save percentage, and a 1.17 goals-against average.
On the other side of the field, senior goalkeeper Kelsey Tierney has seen a drop-off from last year’s historic season with the Big Red, possessing just a 67% save percentage and a 1.65 GAA this year. Tierney recorded 12 shutouts, posted a 0.50 GAA—good for top ten among goalies across the nation—and received All-Ivy First Team honors last year.
Cornell junior forward Paige DeLoach anchors the offensive end with four points on two goals on the season.
The Crimson will look to take care of business by defending its home turf against a struggling team, but still aren’t taking Saturday’s opponent lightly.
“I think we try to prepare for every Ivy League game in the same way,” Durack said. “We don’t, by any means, want to underestimate any teams. So we’re taking the game like any other. I’m confident that we’ll be prepared coming into the game.”
