While the festivities of a Boston-based St. Patrick's Day celebration may have eluded it, the Harvard softball team is not shedding any tears after its successful weekend in Philadelphia.
The Crimson continued its strong play against the Drexel Dragons, splitting a two-game series over the weekend.
Sophomore Tiffany Whitton was out dueled, 2-1, in the first game by Dragon ace Lori Swanson, but Senior Chelsea Thoke helped Harvard storm back in the second match, pitching five no-hit innings in the 7-1 victory.
"We came out and showed that we can beat Northeast teams," Thoke said. "We played great, despite the tough field conditions."
Harvard 7, Drexel 1
The only hit Thoke allowed was a ball ruled fair after third-baseman Lisa Feigenbaum tipped it.
"I was a little disappointed that I didn't come out as explosive as I wanted," Thoke said. "My screwball wasn't working to start the game."
