After eluding the Harvard women’s water polo team for three years, victory against Brown finally found its way back into the Crimson’s record books. Amidst high anticipation and excitement from both the crowd and the teams, Harvard (12-10, 1-1 CWPA North) defeated...
It was a penalty by sophomore attack Shannon Purcell that put the first point on the board, as Brown captain Sarah Glick buried a marker on a foul shot to give the Bears a quick 1-0 edge.
But the third period saw the Bears pick up momentum and pull ahead as the strong Crimson defense encountered an obstacle—Purcell, its only left-handed starter, fouled out. At the quarter’s end, Brown led, 4-3.
The Bears countered soon after, though, with a strong game plan of their own—the team sank two goals in less than a minute. The fourth period ended with the scored knotted at six, and the game extended into overtime.
The team will now look to channel this victory into additional wins this weekend when it takes on conference opponent Hartwick, followed by a rematch with the Bears.
