She assisted on Wylie’s goal just 10 minutes into the game, but was just getting started. With a burst of speed that left Wildcat defenders in the dust, she set up a beautiful shot from the left side that found net and gave the Crimson a 2-0 first-half advantage. Just like that, Harvard’s newest star was born. “She has such tenacity...
