With two outs sophomore Jessica Pledger cracked an RBI single that finished off the Crimson’s scoring. Although...

Harvard beat the Lions on the strength of the bottom of its lineup, sealing its 4-3 victory with a clutch three-set win by freshman Alexei Chijoff-Evans.In Saturday’s win, Harvard reaped the fruit of a grueling early-season schedule: the freshmen showed enough maturity to carry Harvard to the finish line on a day when the more experienced players at the top of the lineup came up short.HARVARD...
