The Harvard women's soccer team, hurt by recent losses to Brown and Boston College, sought to revive its season Saturday against Pennsylvania.

And, although the win over the Quakers was expected, the margin of victory was stunning.

The Crimson (3-2-1, 2-1-0 Ivy) danced all over Penn (2-5-0, 0-3-0 Ivy) with a 10-2 victory at Ohiri Field on Saturday.

Co-Captain Robin Johnston and forward Jen Minkus scored three goals each and junior Laurie Uustal added a goal and three assists.

"It's nice to win one like this," Harvard Coach Tim Wheaton said.

More important than the victory, though, was the quality of the Crimson's play.

All the problems that had plagued the team in previous games disappeared.

The offense, which had failed to pressure opposing defenses in the recent past, came alive.

Crisp passes and heads-up hustle by Minkus, Uustal and Johnston left the Quakers' defense gasping.

The Crimson launched an impressive 40 shots on goal while limiting the Penn squad to just 10.

"We were really moving the ball well and finishing our chances," Wheaton said.

The romp was an opportunity to showcase the depth of the Crimson squad.

Junior Nicole Parent scored twice in five minutes on assists from sophomore middie Betsy Miller.

Miller showed terrific speed in breakaway after breakaway. Penn was no match for her quickness down the field.

Sophomores Patty Kornfield and Laura Flynn turned in strong minutes, as did freshman Liz McNamee. Freshman Beth Morgan notched an assist.
