Lindenwood opened the scoring in the 12th minute with Allison Honeycutt's first try of the season to give the Lions a 5-0 lead. However, Harvard responded with two tries in the 16th and 38th minutes while playing with 14 players due to a yellow card, taking a 10-5 lead into halftime.

The Crimson extended their lead to 17-5 with a try in the 50th minute before adding three more tries in the 57th, 64th, and 79th minutes, along with two additional conversions, and held on for the 36-5 victory.

The Lions will return to action next weekend when they travel to West Point, N.Y., to face Army in their final road match of the regular season. Kickoff is scheduled for 12 p.m. CT, and the match will be streamed on the Lindenwood Athletics YouTube channel.
