Hennessey scored for the third time just over 30 seconds after the restart to spark a run of five unanswered goals for the Crimson that would see sophomore attacker Caroline Ashford and Romeo each pick up a brace of finishes. Hennessey concluded Harvard’s streak and her scoring for the night with a fourth goal that stretched the Crimson’s margin to 12.

Yale would recover slightly once again at the end of the stanza, and the Bulldogs managed to end their second-period drought in the final 10 minutes of the contest with a strike from sophomore attacker Kiwi Comizio and two finishes from McEvoy.

The Harvard offense had already put the result out of reach, though, and the final whistle blew just after McEvoy’s second goal to quash the Bulldogs’ comeback bid and keep Harvard playing for another week.

Concluding the regular season with such a decisive victory will provide the Crimson with some much-needed momentum as the team enters the league tournament, which will be held next weekend in Philadelphia.

“It feels good to have a big win going into the tournament,” Weis said. “Some games haven't gone our way the past few weeks, so it was great to get a solid win before heading down to Penn next weekend.”
