Going into the break up two goals, Harvard could have rested on its laurels.
But Harvard Coach Sue Caples had warned the team beforehand to be wary of the Friars.

"They are a very scrappy, physical team," Cowan said.
The Crimson heeded her warning and came out of the break and scored with 32:19 left in the half on a Katie Schoolwerth penalty stroke.
Down 3-0, the Friars, with the help of a little luck, managed a goal with 26:29 left in the game.
"Their goal came off of a corner," said Cowan, the goalkeeper. "I didn't touch the ball at all. They scored a goal they never should have had."
The Harvard defense shut Providence after that mistake.
