Sarles tied the game off a penalty corner early in the second half.

However, Harvard's celebration was short lived. Just over a minute after Sarles scored, freshman midfielder Kim Swistak caught the Crimson sleeping in front of its own goal.

On a seemingly harmless play, Swistak charged up the middle of the field and quickly stole the ball from three suddenly flatfooted Crimson defenders.

Quickly behind the defense, Swistak made no mistake and buried a bullet behind a stunned senior goaltender Anya Cowan.

"It seemed as though the defenders had position and I thought we'd put a tackle on the attacker," Cowan said. "Then when we turned it over, I wasn't prepared and she just put a beautiful shot right past me into the far corner."

Swistak's goal sparked a series of furious end to end rushes by both teams that wasn't broken until senior forward Kate Nagle, on an incredible individual effort, bagged her seventh goal of the year.

Confronted by the Huskies adventurous sophomore goalkeeper Kathleen Madaua, Nagle fought hard for control of the ball, and slipped an easy shot past a helpless Madaua lying sprawled on her back.
