...Harvard Stadium yesterday didn’t quite go the way the Crimson (4-7, 1-2 Ivy) wanted. UVA pulled ahead early in the first half, 8-3, and despite second-half efforts by Harvard to close the gap, the Crimson came up short in a 13-9 defeat. “UVA was the second-straight top-10 team to come here and battle with us on our turf,” sophomore Samantha McMahon said. “From the loss to Penn on Saturday, we wanted to come out fast and hard showing that...
