Box Score DURHAM, N.H. –
Harvard's Katherine
Sheeleigh's registered a goal and an assist Sunday as the
women's soccer team got into the win column with a 2-0 shutout of
New Hampshire.
Harvard improves to 1-0-1 on the
season while UNH dips to 2-1-2 to end its longest unbeaten
streak since 1991. The game was familair for UNH as Sheeleigh
registered a game-winning goal against the Wildcats for a
third-straight season.
For Harvard, it marked its sixth-straight win against
UNH and its ninth win in its last 11 tries in Durham.
It took just 1:26 for Sheeleigh to do
the damager as she lofted a strike from 20 yards out in the
center of the pitch just under the croissbar to beat UNH
goalkeeper Erica Correa.
Correa stopped seven shots on the day
to keep the Wildcats in contention but Harvard's hot start extended
when, just 2:12 later Sheeleigh sent a cross from the right flank
to the far post where Patricia Yau
redirected it into the left side of the net for the 2-0
advantage. The game would remain scoreless for the next 86 minutes
as Harvard cruised to the win.
UNH only had one scoring threat and
that came in the final minute of play when Cassie Guerra chased
after a ball in the box but could not get a clean foot on it before
Harvard keeper Alexandra
Millet smothered the ball.
Harvard held a 17-8 advantage in shots
and a 9-3 edge in corner kicks.
