Women's Soccer Stunned on the Road by Long Beach State

LONG BEACH, Calif. – Harvard women's soccer dropped its matchup with Long Beach State tonight, after a late goal pushed the foe to a 3-2 victory. The Crimson (2-1-0, 0-0-0 Ivy) fell in a regular season game on the road for the first time in over four years as the all-time series with the Beach is now tied at 1-1.
 

HOW IT HAPPENED

  • The Crimson and the Beach met on the pitch tonight for just the second time in program history and the first time in California.
  • Harvard pressured early, firing off four quality shots in the first 15 minutes. Gabby DelPico registered the first legitimate scoring chance of the contest, putting a low shot on target that was saved by the LBSU keeper.
  • Just seven minutes later, Megan Mackey also had a shot get nudged out of the goal by the Beach.  
  • LBSU countered with a shot midway through the first half but Rhiannon Stewart was up to the challenge and recorded her first career save to keep the game scoreless.

  • Josefine Hasbo netted the first goal of the game early in the second half to put the Crimson up one.
  • Long Beach State countered with a pair of goals to take a 2-1 lead 57' into the action. DelPico had another solid look at the equalizer just a few minutes later but was turned away.
  • Ólöf Kristinsdóttir notched the equalizer in the 79' minute off an assist from Hannah Bebar.
  • Long Beach State scored the go-ahead goal in the 88th minutes to seal the win.
