Sophomore midfielder Chloe Keating, sophomore forward Leigh McCoy, and senior forward Tami Jafar notched two goals apiece while co-captain Kylie Stone and freshman goaltender Ana Roda combined for a shutout in a dominant 6-0 win. “We’re really coming together nicely,” head coach Sue Caples said. “We’re peaking coming into this stretch run and into our ever-important Ivy games.” Harvard got on the scoreboard just 3:26 into the action.
