That's all the Huskies needed to win, as the Crimson could only managed a measly three shots for the entire game, despite the fact that it had to turn its attention to offense for the final 35 minutes.
The UConn defenders stood up to the Harvard forwards, committing 15 fouls during the tilt. But the Huskies were always ready on the set plays that the Crimson had drawn up and thus gave goalie Jill Gelfenbien a light workout.
Despite the loss, Harvard limited the potent offense of a nationally-ranked team to just one goal.
If it keeps up that type of defensive play, it should have no trouble besting up on Pennsylvania tonight in Philadelphia.
However, the Crimson must keep its focus throughout the 90-minute match or else the Quakers could pull off the upset.
Inferior Columbia and Fairfield squads have tied the Crimson despite having been horribly outshot only because they took advantage of a couple of Harvard defensive lapses.
