...second game. A minor back injury became aggravated after a collision with a Cardinal player. She retired for precautionary measures and is expected to be healthy for Harvard’s next match. For a team that has not played competitively in five weeks, the Crimson showed little rust against Stanford, the strongest opponent that the team has faced this season. “We were really excited to get back on the court after exam period. We had the opportunity to practice beforehand to get back into a rhythm,” junior captain Johanna Snyder said...
