Nobody on the Princeton roster has ever played on a collegiate field hockey team that didn't make the NCAA Final Four. The Tigers have won five straight Ivy League titles and have played in the national championship game in 1996 and 1998.
Nobody on the Harvard roster has ever been to the NCAA Tournament.
For almost 65 minutes, this game was exhilarating. Ingram, who continued to stake her claim as the heir to Judy Collins '99 and tri-captain Dominique Kalil as the top Harvard striker, flashed her skills all afternoon.
Ingram, who is second on the team in scoring with six goals and six assists, converted a pair of pretty goals in the first half, both off heads-up feeds from junior striker Kate Nagle.
Just 1:25 into the game, Nagle beat a defender in the midfield and pushed the ball ahead for Ingram, who collected it and, with a Princeton defender piggybacking her, protected it to her right and beat keeper Kelly Baril to the corner of the cage.
Later in the first, Ingram took Nagle's feed from the corner and shoved it in to give Harvard a 2-1 lead.
Cowan, who made seven saves, and the Crimson backfield made that lead stand up behind nice efforts from tri-captain Katie Schoolwerth and sophomore Sarah Luskin, who stopped a sure goal on the goal line with her stick in the second half.
