After muscling her way through a blue wall of Connecticut defenders, sophomore Tami Jafar hooked a pass to Brown. With 3:30 left on the game clock, Brown rushed the net, nearly flattening the goalie who was barely able to disband the threat.Although it was the Huskies who got the upper hand on the scoreboard, it was Harvard who had the most...
