Over the last four years, when Mary Kubiuk has scored, the result has usually been favorable for the Yale women’s soccer team. So perhaps it was only fitting that in the final game of her career, Kubiuk played a key role in sending the Class of 2013 off with a victory.

Brown, though, took advantage of one opportunity and Yale was forced to settle for a 2-2 tie on a chilly night at Stevenson Field.

The Yale women’s soccer team completes a three-game road stretch with a long trip to Cornell on Saturday. The Bulldogs and Big Red meet at 4 p.m. at Berman Field.

The Yale women’s soccer team certainly doesn’t need much extra motivation for a game against Harvard. But the way the last three games with the Crimson have gone certainly doesn’t sit well with the Bulldogs. Each was a one-goal loss, including last year when Harvard scored the game winning goal on a penalty kick after a controversial hand ball in the box.
The Yale women’s soccer team flirted with danger for much of Saturday’s game with Princeton. It was just old fashioned bad luck, however, that ended up costing the Bulldogs in a 2-1 overtime loss.
