...EASTON, Penn.—A new-look team took the field Saturday at Lafayette. A team that had seven turnovers and was lucky to escape 1-1 in its first two games of the season turned things around with a solid, turnover-free performance that included its most balanced attack of the year. The bulk of the turnaround came from Harvard’s ability to protect and possess the football. After an abysmal deficit in possession time last weekend against Brown, the Crimson seemed to move the ball at will, holding the football for over nine minutes...

Penn (4-3-1, 1-0-0 Ivy) dominated on the offensive end, putting two of its 12 shots past stalwart Crimson keeper Lauren Mann to secure a 2-0 victory in its Ivy opener. The Quakers looked strong in their first Ivy game as defending conference champions, out shooting Harvard 12-4 and tallying a staggering seven corners compared with just two for the Crimson. This has been an ongoing struggle...
