...Harvard quickly answered with a goal by junior Sarah Bancroft off of a free position. A few minutes later Harvard added another score on a goal by senior Caroline Simmons. Harvard went onto score three more goals in the half, including tallies from freshman Jess Halpern and sophomore Sara Flood. The last goal came in the final two minutes of play from Schoen.
