Box Score CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Two fourth quarter goals by sophomore Avery Donahue helped No. 14 Harvard field hockey (7-1) earn a 4-1 win over Bucknell (6-3) on Sunday afternoon (Sept. 26) at Berylson Field.
 
Sophomore forward Emily Berlinghof gave the Crimson an early lead with a first quarter goal, and first-year Emily Guckian notched her first career goal early in the second half to round out the scoring for the Crimson.
 
Harvard's defense had another solid effort, allowing just its third regulation goal all season and keeping Bucknell in check for most of the game.
 
Berlinghof took a pass from Sage Nye and flipped a reverse stick shot past Bucknell goalkeeper Clara McCormick (six saves) at 9:33 of the opening quarter to make it 1-0.
 
At 6:05 of the third quarter, Guckian finished a 20-yard run into the left side of the circle with a shot into the low right corner to make it 2-0. Bucknell's Lily Neilson cut the Harvard lead to 2-1 on a goal off a penalty corner at 12:04.
 
But a pair of Donahue goals sealed the win – the first coming just 3:38 into the fourth quarter off a great feed from senior captain Mimi Tarrant. Donahue scored again late in the game, flipping a shot over McCormick while falling down with :52 remaining.
