Prior to the game, the Crimson recognized its seven graduating seniors – Murphy Agnew, Maria DiMartinis, Taylor Nielsen, Lauren Raimondo, Samantha Schmitz, Trinity Thomas, and Jillian Wachira – for their hard work, resiliency, and dedication to the program during their time at Harvard.
 
"It felt great to get the win," DiMartinis said. "There is no better feeling. This group has worked so hard, and we are still fighting for something – for a spot in the NCAA tournament. Every win means even more. To the seniors who I have spent over four years with here, it was so great that we all got to get in and got to end our home season together. I am so proud of everyone."
