Harvard took clear control of NIRA DI Saturday with a very strong second half to beat Lindenwood on the road.
The two teams, who last met in the NIRA DI final in 2025, played very tight in the opening stanza, with
Lindenwood drew first blood when Allison Honeycutt scored in the 12th minute. But Harvard came right back with Morgan Gibson went over to tie it 5-5.
It remained that score almost into halftime. Harvard were down a player due to a yellow card to Lolua Tauanu'u and Lindenwood had the Crimson under pressure. However, Harvard weathered the storm, and a brilliant run by Sana'a Lunon set up a chance for Lunon to go over. That made it 10-5 at the break.
