Harvard could find no answer to the Big Red’s potent attacking duo. Glynn and Muldoon would each net another goal in the second half, but the team’s top two scorers, Romeo and sophomore midfielder Keeley MacAfee, were each limited to a goal apiece.

Glynn, MacAfee, and Muldoon did all of the Crimson’s scoring in the second half with a finish each, but Harvard could not break through Cornell’s defense until nearly halfway through the closing stanza.

Glynn picked up the Crimson’s first goal after the restart 14 minutes into the second period, when tri-captain attacker Maeve McMahon passed the ball away on a free position chance. Glynn fooled a Big Red defender with a shot fake before picking out the far side of the net to complete her brace.

By that point, though, Cornell had already scored three times, including a pair of free position conversions in three minutes from Gilbert.

With the result already out of reach, the teams would trade goals for the rest of the contest. First, MacAfee outpaced a defender with a roll dodge and netted her 35th finish of the season with five minutes remaining after a Big Red score.

Ellis picked up her fifth and final goal less than a minute after MacAfee, and Muldoon closed out the game with a score with just over 60 seconds left to play. Sophomore midfielder Caroline Garrity had her shot turned away, but Poullott couldn’t hold on to the ball, and Muldoon picked up the rebound and tucked it away from close range to settle the margin at 13-6.

Harvard will get a shot at redemption when it faces Cornell in the Ivy League Tournament semifinal.

“We played a talented team and we can't wait to play them again on Friday,” McMahon said.
