...conference foes, the defense was porous, the fouls were frequent, and even the offensive misconnections abundant in a game which saw a total of nine scores. “It was a little ugly,” Harvard coach Katey Stone said. “But it was very hard-fought and it was great to put six goals.” The win snapped a six-game winless streak for the Crimson and marked its first victory on the road this season after dropping three games and tying one away from home on the year...
