But with missed shots—including a close attempt from freshman Melanie Baskind that deflected off the crossbar—and Penn finding the net once in each half, the Harvard team emerged from the game in a completely different mood. “It was our first Ivy League game, and we lost it,” junior Christina Hagner said. “After that game, we got together because people’s heads...
