CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Women's lacrosse will play its final non-conference game of the season on Tuesday when it travels to Storrs to take on the University of Connecticut Huskies.

First draw is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. and will stream live on UConn+.

LAST TIME OUT

• The Crimson fell to No. 8 Yale in a back-and-forth contest that saw the nationally ranked Bulldogs and Crimson combine for 27 goals on Saturday afternoon.
• The Crimson found the back of the net more than any team the Bulldogs have faced this season and even led 12-8 with 9:34 left in the third quarter, but Yale responded with six of the next seven goals to remain perfect in Ivy League play.
• The Harvard offense exploded in the second quarter with six goals to flip the script and take a 9-7 lead heading into the half. Outscoring the Bulldogs 6-2 in the second quarter, the Crimson got big goals from Kate Gilliam, Callie Batchelder, Hannah Shiels, Natalie Marvin, and Lexie Koch, with Gilliam the only Crimson player to score twice in the quarter.
• Charlotte Hodgson picked up where the Crimson left off in the third quarter, scoring three consecutive goals to put Harvard up 12-8 before Yale responded with four straight goals to tie the game heading into the fourth.

• Last season, Harvard beat then-No. 23 UConn in overtime in an exciting night game at Jordan Field in late February.
• Ranked No. 24 at the time, Stella Shea netted the game-winning goal after a clear from Annabel Child found Callie Batchelder, who fed Shea in the slot.
• Down with just over a minute to go, Harvard scored two consecutive goals at the end of the fourth quarter and the beginning of overtime to pick up its second ranked win of the season and its second consecutive ranked victory.
• The Crimson prevailed in a back-and-forth game that saw Harvard have eight different goal scorers.
