Last Time Out
In the Ivy League opener for Harvard and Yale, the Crimson fell
short in a 1-0 defeat at Jordan. Harvard's Cynthia
Tassopoulos had six saves on the afternoon, but it was Mia

the Bulldogs.

four goals and eleven points. She has six career game winning
goals, with two of them against Northeastern.

History Lesson
In the teams' last meeting, the Huskies blanked the Crimson, 6-0,
at Sweeney Field. The last series victory for the Crimson was
in 2008 when Harvard defeated Northeastern, 4-3. Kylie Stone
'09 made 11 saves while Georgia McGillivray and Chloe Keating
were among Harvard's goal-scorers.
Scouting the Huskies
After a 9-9 finish in 2009, Northeastern opened this season
with consecutive losses to Northwestern, Syracuse and
Massachusetts. The Huskies have since turned things
around by winning three straight, against Maine, Quinnipiac
and Boston University, before suffering a 2-0, shutout loss to
Providence in their last home game.
Northeastern scoring leaders are Kaela Barker and Crystal Poland, who have scored three goals each. Goalkeeper Lizzie Priest has 47 saves this season with a 2.76 goals against average, a .758 save percentage and a shutout against BU.
