As Lions forward Jane Gartland carried the ball into the circle, senior goaltender Kylie Stone was forced to leave the cage to challenge the threat. Gartland sent a quick pass to teammate Maggie O’Connor, who lightly knocked the ball past Stone and into the left side of the net. Harvard evened things up midway through the first.
