Behind the defense was sophomore netminder Jamie Reilly, whose first collegiate start was spoiled in overtime by the Cardinal. Yesterday, however, Reilly (eight saves) recorded a shutout--thanks to several diving saves and a supportive defense.

"My pulse is down to about 1000 now," Reilly said.

Penn's best chance in the first half came withnine minutes remaining, when both Jim Roberti andRichie Morrin missed close shots. The Quakersthreatened several times in the second half, butReilly answered the call.

With 34 minutes to play, Reilly made anaggressive play to break up a Penn bid in front ofthe goal. On the ensuing cornerkick, Reilly made ajump save, thwarting the Quaker threat.

"Reilly played a great game," Amen said. "Heplayed with great confidence."

Harvard survived a major scare with 19 minutesleft and the game still scoreless. Morrin receiveda lead pass in front of the goal, and put it pastReilly. The apparent tally, however, was denieddue to an offsides infraction.

Penn seemed to be in position to score againthree minutes later, when Mike Constantino crossedthe ball to Roberti, who was open in front of thegoal. Freshman Peter Cochran. however, busted theQuaker bubble by kicking the ball out of thegoalie box.

"We didn't do things much differently," seniorDerek Mills said. "We just couldn't put the ballaway against Stanford. and today we were luckyenough to get one."
