Bulldogs Fall to No. 19 Harvard on Senior Day

Box Score NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The Yale women's soccer team fell to No. 19 Harvard, 5-2, at Reese Stadium. The Bulldogs cap their season with an overall record of 5-6-5 and 0-5-2 in the Ivy League, while the Crimson improved to 10-3-2 overall and 5-1-1 in conference play.

Before the start of the game, the Bulldogs honored its six-member senior class: captain Chloe Laureano, Zia Makhathini, Marisa Shorrock, Nikki Debayo-Doherty, Ellery Winkler, and Kathryn Genda.

"My only comment tonight is thank you. Thank you to Chloe, Zia, Roo, Nikki, Ellery, and Kat," said Sarah Martinez, Loring Family Head Coach. "These six have built us a foundation to do great things in the coming years. We had some really good moments tonight, and I have no doubt we are going in the right direction. My only disappointment is for those six not to fully feel the fruit of their labor but we will continue to build upon their legacy."
