Playing against Columbia in the season finale on Nov. 8, junior defenseman Lizzy Nichols scored on a penalty kick with nine seconds left on the clock in double overtime to give Harvard a 2-1 win and clinch the Ivy League title—and the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament that comes with it. “It’s kind of amazing...
