"It was great to see Orly get her first two goals today," Blain said. "She has been playing very well and has worked really hard."

The Crimson finished off the scoring for the day just 1:30 later. Totman sent a nifty pass into the box to a streaking Yenne. Yenne pushed toward the goal, but was taken down by a Cornell defender. Berman netted the ensuing penalty kick with a drive into the lower right corner of the goal, giving the Crimson its 5-0 victory.

Aside from the obvious success of the Harvard offense, the Crimson once again came through with a stellar defensive performance, tallying its third shutout of the season, and its second in as many games.

Harvard has only allowed six goals in nine games this season, and has allowed no more than one goal in any individual game. Co-captain sweeper Jess Larson and freshman goalkeeper Cheryl Gunther have led the stellar Crimson defense the entire season, and Saturday proved to be no exception.

Larson thwarted any and all Cornell advances into the Harvard box. Gunther, meanwhile, made a leaping save knocking a Big Red shot on goal over the crossbar on its best opportunity on the day. Gunther only needed to make one save on the match.

"Again Larson led us on the field back there, and Gunther played well," Wheaton said. "She didn't have to do much today in goal, but made knocked that one ball over the top [of the crossbar] for a tough save."

With the win Harvard improved its Ivy League record to a perfect 4-0, and further established itself as the team to beat in the league.
