Highlights
-1^st Half-
Just 12 minutes into the contest, Dani Stollar crossed a low, hard pass across to Joan Fleischman who was sitting in the middle of the box open. Fleischman took a look at the net and buried the shot top right to take a 1-0 lead. Murphy responded about halfway through the half with a nice spin move back toward the middle of the box and a blast after one touch that curled around the keeper just inside the post. The first half finished with a 1-1 score as Harvard led in shots, 6-2.

-2^nd Half-
In the second half, both teams traded possession for most of the half. It was in the 71^st minute that Zlatic took a pass from Matulis with her back to goal and took one touch to the right before ripping it bottom left past the outstretched arms of Borkan. The Wildcats remained in the Crimson zone for most of the final minutes with a few close chances at a shot on net but Harvard's backline held strong.
