Sophomore Tara Schoen posted a hat trick yesterday when the Harvard women’s lacrosse team played against New Hampshire at Memorial Field. Despite Schoen’s efforts, the Crimson, due to a poor showing in the first frame, lost to the Wildcats 19-10. “I think our team didn’t come out with intensity,” freshman Kaitlin Martin said. The game marks the third straight loss for Harvard (3-8, 1-1 Ivy League) and the seventh straight victory for New Hampshire (8-4, 3-0 America East). The Wildcats...

The survey asks whether respondents have a diploma or GED. Critics...
...time rival Yale, the Crimson was not able to hold off the Quakers (8-4, 3-1). It was the freshmen who stood out in Sunday’s game as Sarah Bancroft and Kelly Alverson contributed the Crimson’s four goals. Bancroft accomplished the first hat trick of her collegiate career. “It was very fun scoring my first hat trick,” Bancroft said. “I wanted to do my part for our team and to help our team play better.” Alverson completed Harvard’s tally...
