Harvard goalie Brittany Martin, then a sophomore, tied a school record with 67 saves in that game while her teammates exhausted every inch of their bodies’ capabilities to try and come away with a win. Wisconsin ended up eking out a victory, but the Crimson returned to Cambridge with nothing to regret and everything to be proud...

After opening the Classic with a Friday sweep, the Crimson rebounded from a tough 1-0 loss to Central Michigan (3-7) to defeat Ivy foe Columbia (0-5) and Florida Atlantic (13-12). “We set some pretty strong goals for this weekend, and I think this tournament has been great,” Harvard coach Jenny Allard said. “We don?...
