Last Time Out
Time ran out on the Crimson's comeback as California hung
on for a 3-2 win Sunday in Berkeley, Calif., in the final game of
Harvard's two-game NorCal road trip. The Crimson dominated the
final 10 minutes, and Georgia
McGillivray scored a late goal, assisted by Christy Haughey,
but the Golden Bears hung on.
Passes from Bridget McGillivray and Chloe Keating led to a goal by Emma Keller to tie the score at 1-1 in the opening half before Cal regained the lead with two scores early in the second. Cynthia Tassopoulos made nine saves.
