HOW IT HAPPENED
The Crimson opened the scoring on Tuesday night with two goals in the first five minutes.
Annabel Child started the night by converting on a player-up opportunity to give Harvard a 1-0 lead.
After
Caroline Mullahy received a card, Child disrupted the Wildcats' attack with a key caused turnover that helped Harvard kill off the penalty deep in UNH territory. On the ensuing possession, Mullahy found the back of the net off a quick feed from
Callie Batchelder, sparking the Crimson offense.
UNH responded with a goal, but Harvard rattled off seven straight to take a commanding 9-1 lead after the first quarter. The Crimson kept rolling in the second, adding five more goals to head into halftime up 14-2.
Harvard stayed sharp in the second half.
Charlotte Hodgson and
Tori Balser added goals in the third quarter, and first-year
Molly Chorin scored twice in the fourth, including her first collegiate goal. The defense limited New Hampshire to just three second-half shots and one goal.
