As the contest entered the first of two 15-minute overtime periods, things began to heat up between the opposing teams. Characterized by physical play, the match included a total of 47 fouls and five yellow cards, three of which were given in the extra session.

The Crimson continued its overwhelming offensive push in overtime, but remained plagued by its inability to score the golden goal.

Hench was denied yet another goal after Chiesa made a spectacular diving save on what appeared to be the game-winner, with six minutes left in the first overtime period.

The final chance for Harvard surfaced early in the second overtime session, when Petruccelli took a Hench pass and poked the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

But the goal was called back, due to an offsides call by the officials.

Thus, the match ended in a 1-1 tie. Throughout the game, both teams furiously attempted to find the back of the elusive net with strong offensive strikes but were unsuccessful.

"I'm happy with the effort and result we got today," Coach Kerr said. "We played well and dominated from the start. We were able to pick up some confidence for our big game against Princeton this weekend."

The Crimson now focuses its attention on Ivy League competition, with four of its last six games featuring conference teams.
