Game One Recap: #14 Harvard 18, Bucknell 9

Bella Schraa totaled four goals to lead the Bison in scoring but it was not enough to overcome the Crimson.

An Isabella Monaghan goal tied the game at 1-1 but by the end of the first quarter Harvard led 8-2. A Schraa score proved to be a temporary blockade against the onslaught of Harvard goals.
