To start the day at the Princeton Invitational the Gaels faced Harvard at 2:30 pm. The opposition opened the scoring just over a minute in and kept the foot on the gas with two more goals, keeping the Maroon & Gold off the board for the first 4 and half minutes. Harvard responded back with two more goals to close out the opening quarter. Iona's lone goal came from senior Karsyn Stewart. 

Iona's offense started to pick up a little in the second quarter, scoring three goals. But as the Gaels picked it up the Crimson repeated their first quarter goal number and entered the halftime break up 10-4. The goals in the second were scored by Kaya Hart, Remy Ickes, and number 7 Amelia Gonzalez. Harvard's offense didn't slow down in the second half, they opened the third quarter with four straight goals before Miranda Miller cut into the lead. Goals from Jenna Handali and Addison Collins made it a ten goal game entering the final quarter. 

Iona was kept off the board in the final frame while Harvard added four more goals to their total.
