Sproul evened it up again with a goal off an assist from junior midfielder Bessie Clark just over two minutes later.

“[Sproul] is very poised, very deceptive, able to help us out by getting in the corners, getting some good feeds,” Belitsos said. “She’s had some strong finishing shots in the past few games and in the midfield she’s been a great outlet for us.”

New Hampshire used the remaining 16 minutes of the first half to put some distance between itself and Harvard, going on a 5-2 run heading into the break.

The two Crimson tallies came from a Yellott free-position shot and an unassisted effort from Hines. Yesterday’s game was a breakout performance for the freshman, with a goal and two assists.

“[Hines has a great] ability to see the field and see cutters,” Belitsos said. “She’s had some amazing feeds, but also today she had a great shot and hopefully we’ll be able to use that ability in the future.”

Team members were frustrated by the team’s recent late game collapses, but hopeful about resolving the problems.

“I think that we’re still learning how to make sure we finish off a game,” Owens said. “Obviously that’s something we wish we could have mastered by now, but it’s a process...We’re going to find a way to make the wins happen. Our team is not one to give up.”
