...Tigers was the Crimson’s ninth game decided by one point. “The Princeton game was my first start...and I think I ended up having a great first game in goal,” sophomore goalie Siobhan Connolly said. A replacement for injured freshman starter Kelly Knoche, Connolly denied eight Tiger shots and held a 1-0 lead at halftime, courtesy of senior midfielder and captain Jen McDavitt. But Princeton scored twice in the second frame to steal the game from the Crimson. Harvard then went on to close out its season with three more...
...youthful squad with nine freshmen and sophomores. Youth both aided and ailed the Crimson, which trailed at the half in each of its six Ivy losses. Over that stretch, Harvard trailed by an average of eight points going into the second frame. A starting lineup that returned just one starter from 2004-2005—co-captain Jess Holsey missed almost all of the Ivy season with a hand injury and a concussion—forced Delaney-Smith to play many lineups with two to three freshmen.

O’Hagan entered...
...losing to Hartiwck, 12-2, before beating Brown. In the championship game, the Crimson again fell to the Hawks, 10-4. Little came easy for Harvard this season against quality competition, as it was not only facing some vastly improved teams, but was also returning few of its starters from last year. “Definitely a weakness for us was how young we were,” co-captain driver Arin Keyser said. Luckily, one of the returning players was senior goaltender Lydia Gardner, a four-year starter. “When other teams look at our team, they...
