Women's Soccer Falls to St. John's in Queens, 4-3

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard women's soccer had a close game tonight in a non-conference battle with the formidable St. John's Red Storm, ultimately succumbing to a narrow 3-4 defeat.

The match kicked off with an electrifying display of skill as Ólöf Kristinsdóttir netted two goals in a dazzling display of precision within the opening half, both within a mere five-minute span. However, St. Johns answered the 2-0 deficit by scoring two. Harvard fell into penalty trouble and allowed a penalty kick for the Red Storm. 

As the first half unfolded, Harvard found themselves entangled in penalty trouble, conceding a crucial penalty kick to the relentless Red Storm, who seized the opportunity to level the score.

The second half began, and DelPico stole the ball from the goalkeeper dribbling the ball, and scored from within the box. St. Johns was able to tally another goal within the box in the mid-second half. 

Despite 17 shots on goal compared to St. John's 8, Harvard couldn't find a plan for the rest of the match, resulting in a 3-4 loss.
