...didn’t let the fact that they are the No. 1 team get to us,” sophomore Patty Smith said. “We didn’t let them get to us and decided to play our game.” Junior Roxanne Pinto and Smith recorded Harvard’s scores against the tough Cardinal defense. On the defensive end, Perlman had six saves between the pipes for the Crimson. Harvard dropped to 4-7 on the season. “This week will be a test of our endurance,” Smith...
