CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Cornell's offense came alive for 22 hits in Saturday's Ivy League doubleheader at Harvard, but the Crimson was able to pull off the sweep with 8-3 and 9-5 victories at Soldiers Field. The Big Red fell to 6-16 (1-6 Ivy), while Harvard moved to 11-12 (3-3 Ivy).

Game One
Harvard raced out to a 7-0 lead after three innings and cruised to the win in the opener. Cornell's Megan Murray was 3-for-3 and reached base all four times she batted, while Tori Togashi also added three hits. Jessica Bigbie had a pair of hits and two of the team's three RBI in the loss.

Freshman Lisa Nelson held the Crimson at bay after coming in for relief in the third, scattering seven hits and allowing just one one run. 

Cornell pounded out 11 hits in the loss.

Game Two
Rebecca Kubena had three hits and both Madeline Avery and Jessica Bigbie had two, but the Crimson took advantage of three walks, a hit batter, and an error after collecting just six hits of its own.

The Big Red took a 4-0 lead after two and a half thanks to a two-run single by Avery in the first and RBI base hits by Tori Togashi and Kubena in the third. Harvard answered with five in the bottom of the third to regain the lead, then after Cornell tied it in the fourth on a Bridgette Rooney RBI single, allowed Harvard to pull back ahead with a four-run stanza. The Big Red couldn't rally in their final at bat, going 1-2-3.

The Big Red closes out the weekend when it returns to Dartmouth for a single game on Sunday, April 9 at 12:30 p.m.
