The Crimson came out strong in the second half, adding a goal from Martin in the first 30 seconds. Not long after, the Crusaders found their rhythm and put two more goals in the back of the net, tying the game up at 6-6. After Harvard’s short setback, Martin and Doherty teamed up to get the Crimson back in the game, putting up four quick goals for Harvard. Martin tallied the first and third...
