Junior Sarah Winters paced the Crimson with four goals, all in the second half.

"We were just stronger than them," sophomore Sara Noonan said.

Friday's game against Temple was a closer affair, with the score tied at five with only 10 minutes left in the mach. But then the Crimson went on a five-goal rampage to win the game.

"Temple was better athletically than [Old Dominion]," Colligan said. "They gave us a good run for our money."

Winters again led the team with four goals, and senior Sarah Downing had two.

"Early in the game we got sloppy," Kleinfelder said. "Then we put our heads together and played well."

A bright spot for Harvard during the week was the play of the defense and freshman goaltender Kate Schutt.

Most of the defenders are back from last season, and so the Crimson have some of the best and most experienced players at that position.

But Schutt has played better than any freshman can be expected to, with a goals against average of 4.83 and a save percentage of 62.8.

"Kate is hanging in there," Kleinfelder said. "It's kind of baptism by fire."
