The forward received a well-timed pass from Alexandra Czerniak and fired a shot past Crimson freshman goalie Cynthia Tassopoulos. Boissoneau’s first attempt hit off the left post, but she buried her own rebound at 25:41 to tie the score at 1.Although both squads followed with a number of missed chances—at times caused by misfires on the water-logged field—Harvard capitalized on its offensive onslaught, eventually wearing down...
