Ahmadian's Late Goal Boosts Women’s Soccer to 1-1 Draw at Brown

PROVIDENCE, R.I. – Harvard women's soccer (8-1-3, 2-0-2 Ivy) remained unbeaten in conference play today after battling to a hard-fought tie at Brown (8-2-2, 3-0-1 Ivy). The Crimson was able to get the result after a late game-tying goal from Ainsley Ahmadian in the 75th minute of action.
