F. Hockey Rallies Past B.C., 2-1

Second-half dominance yields to victory

"There's been a couple of times this season where we've played inconsistently, especially in the second half," Schoolwerth said. "And it was really important for us to come out strong and play well late in the game."

It was even more important for the Crimson to come on strong after B.C. opened the scoring three minutes into the game on a goal by freshman forward Christy Zider.

Harvard tri-captain Dominique Kalil evened the game midway through the period with a tip-in off a shot by freshman midfielder Kalen Ingram.

The key to Harvard's resurgent offense was the play of Kalil and junior forward Kate Nagle.

Kalil, who leads the team in scoring with seven goals and seven assists for 21 points, and Nagle, who also has seven goals on the season, were kept off the score-sheet Saturday in Harvard's 2-0 loss to No.13 Boston University.

Yesterday, however, Kalil and Nagle seemed to rediscover their energizer batteries.

In the final ten minutes of the game, while the Harvard defense was nursing a slim one-goal lead, Kalil and Nagle alone sustained the Harvard offense, allowing the rest of Harvard's attackers to control the midfield and prevent a B.C. breakout.

Kalil notched her seventh goal of the season to knot the game at 1-1 in the first half, while both Kalil and Nagle each had a pair of shots on the afternoon. Kalil's goal moved her into fifth in the Ivy League in scoring.
