Gutierrez’s Brace Powers Men’s Soccer Past Princeton in 90th Minute, 2-1

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Senior Ale Gutierrez scored two goals – including the game-winning penalty kick in the 90th minute – as Harvard University men's soccer defeated Princeton University, 2-1, on Saturday afternoon at Jordan Field in its home regular season finale.
 
Playing on Senior Day, the Crimson (5-4-6, 3-1-2 Ivy) took a lead in the 49th minute and re-gained the lead in the 90th minute on Gutierrez's penalty after the visiting Tigers (4-8-3, 1-3-2 Ivy) equalized in the 88th minute.
 
Gutierrez posted a brace for the second time in his career, helping the Crimson remain atop the Ivy League standings with 11 points.
