No. 15/RV Women’s Soccer Shuts Out CCSU, 3-0, in Pride Game, Non-League Finale

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Junior Angela Caloia scored two goals, sophomore Taylor Fasnacht posted a goal and an assist, and first-year Hannah Bebar tallied two assists as No. 15/RV Harvard University women's soccer shut out Central Connecticut State University, 3-0 on Tuesday evening at Jordan Field in its Pride Game, hosted in conjunction with the Harvard College Athlete Ally Chapter, and non-conference finale.
 
The Crimson (10-1-1) netted all three of its goals inside the contest's first 20 minutes to defeat the visiting Blue Devils (9-5-0). Harvard has now registered double-figure wins in a season for the 21st time in program history and for the sixth time since 2011.
 
In the second game of a four-game homestand, Caloia opened the scoring in the fourth minute, directing the ball into the back of the net from the edge of the six-yard box off assists from senior Sophie Hirst and Bebar. Fasnacht doubled the lead in the 15th minute, carrying the ball along the right side and slotting a shot past the keeper. Caloia capped the scoring in the 20th minute, directing a one-timed shot into the net off a feed from Fasnacht.
 
As a part of the team's Pride Game, student-athletes wore rainbow hair ribbons and shoelaces to show their acceptance of complex gender and sexual identities while free Harvard College Athlete Ally stickers were provided to fans.
 
"Both for me personally and the team this was really important to have our first-ever Pride Game and make a statement for the LGBTQ community both on campus and beyond," senior Lara Schenk said. "I'm really hoping that a lot of young girls and any kind of potential queers of the future are watching tonight's game and thinking 'I can be like them and be a Harvard women's soccer player and also be gay, and that's OK.'"
