But at the beginning of the second frame, UMass only grasped tighter onto its lead. Three minutes in, Kerri Connerty added another tally, following an assist from Jeanette Villapiano. Lindsay Cassell, also assisted by Villapiano, extended the run for the Minutewomen to 9-0. Down 9-3, Harvard needed to mount some sort of offensive drive to remain in the game. With that in mind, the Crimson mustered...
