The Quakers retaliated to make it 11-3, but that was like putting a bandaid on a gunshot wound.
The rest of the game was a blur of women in white jerseys being futilely chased by women in blue. Substitutions came in and out for both squads, but that didn't stop Harvard's score from approaching infinity.
For the record, the Crimson tallied the next eight goals in a row until the Quakers--in this year's award for "too little, too late"--scored with one second left.
The only negative for Harvard on the day was that the attack wasn't forced to do anything special. All day, the Crimson players picked up loose balls and blew by confused defenders for scores.
This type of fast-break offense was certainly effective, but only against a team playing as badly as Penn did. When Harvard did go to a regular, settled attack, Penn was often able to stand firm.
"I didn't feel like we had flow," Kleinfelder said. "I thought we had a lot of stopping and starting on the offense."
Harvard, of course, cannot expect Princeton to be as pathetic as Penn. To dethrone the 1994 NCAA champs, the Crimson will have to maintain a solid defense and be flawless on all styles of attack.
Still, the Tigers will be wise to fear a team that has won two games by a combined score of 31-6.
