Almost 18 minutes into the game, Uconn struck like lightning. Marjory Abbott drilled a shot into the right corner of the goal. Taylor, who appeared to be screened on the play, did not see the balt until it was too late.
The second half was a carbon copy of the first, with Connecticut outplayed, but Harvard outscored.
At 23:46 Rose Smith cruised down the left side of the field unchallenged and whacked the ball into the top right-hand corner of the net.
With about 10 minutes left, Abely took over in goal for Taylor, who quickly changed and rushed onto the field as a forward.
Taylor's presence on the field seemed to bring another new drive to the squad, but the Crimson was unable to net the ball.
But as Harvard new gears for the all-important Ivy opener Saturday at Penn, its newly found ability to put shots on goal was clearly the most important aspect of yesterday's loss.
"We did have the shots." O'Neill said adding "that's the important part."
