No. 24 Women’s Soccer Secures Seventh Straight Win with 4-1 Victory Over Cornell

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – No. 24 Harvard women's soccer (8-2-1, 2-0-0 Ivy) extended its unbeaten streak to nine games on Saturday afternoon, powering past Cornell (4-4-2, 1-1-0 Ivy), 4-1, at Jordan Field.

Brooke Huleatt scored twice to bring her season total to nine, while Ólöf Kristinsdóttir and Anna Rayhill also found the back of the net as the Crimson continued its unbeaten run and took sole possession of first place in the Ivy League.

How it Happened

  • Brooke Huleatt wasted no time putting pressure on Cornell, firing off a shot just 24 seconds into the contest.
  • Olivia Busby came up with Harvard's first big save of the afternoon in the 12th minute, denying Cornell's Alanna Colbert.
  • Harvard continued to generate dangerous chances, with Huleatt, Ólöf Kristinsdóttir and Anna Rayhill each testing the Cornell defense in the opening 14 minutes.
  • Huleatt broke through in the 17th minute, finishing off a pass from Jasmine Leshnick to give the Crimson a 1-0 lead.
  • Cornell answered just four minutes later, with Colbert leveling the match at 1-1 in the 21st minute.
  • Harvard continued to press for a second goal before halftime, but the teams entered the break deadlocked at 1-1.
  • Less than five minutes into the second half, Kristinsdóttir put Harvard back in front, scoring her ninth goal of the season to establish a new single-season career high.
  • The Crimson then broke the game open with two goals in a 94-second span. Rayhill pounced on the rebound of Lou Ruffien's saved shot in the 64th minute before Huleatt added her second of the afternoon just over a minute later, finishing a feed from Elsa Santos López.

Harvard Highlights

  • The Crimson's seventh straight victory extended its unbeaten streak to nine games. Harvard remains atop the Ivy League standings with the conference's only 2-0 record.
  • Huleatt scored twice on four shots, bringing her season total to nine. She now shares the Ivy League lead in goals with Kristinsdóttir.
  • Kristinsdóttir found the net for the second consecutive game, putting Harvard back in front early in the second half. The goal established a new single-season career high for the senior, surpassing the eight goals she scored as a first-year, when she was named Ivy League Rookie of the Year.
  • Rayhill recorded two shots on goal, with one finding the back of the net for her third goal of the season. The senior, who was recently named to the Hermann Trophy Midseason Watch List, played all 90 minutes and continued to play a key role for the Crimson.
  • Santos López, Leshnick and Anya Van Den Einde each recorded an assist in the victory.
  • Harvard outshot Cornell, 15-6, including a 9-3 advantage in shots on goal.
