...with eleven minutes left in regulation. “Clarke came up with a bunch of amazing saves.” Halpern said. “She was very good at making saves and clearing the ball really quickly so we could get it to our flanks and attack at speed.”But Harvard had some trouble in its offensive zone with turnovers, and New Hampshire capitalized on the Crimson’s unforced errors with lightning quick counters up the field.
