In the end, it was two freshmen that came through with the deciding goal.
With under a minute left in regulation, freshman forward Joey Yenne took the ball at midfield and kicked a great pass up field to a streaking Totman. The ball got by the Cougar sweeper, Totman ran by her, beat the last defender between her and the goal, and boomed a shot into the right corner of the net, to give Harvard the game.
Perhaps the silent hero for the Crimson on the season has been freshman goalkeeper Cheryl Gunther. Gunther made seven saves against BYU on the afternoon for her second shutout of the season, and was named Ivy League rookie of the Week for her play on the weekend.

"This was a huge win for us," Larson said. "We feel like we haven't been getting any respect, but with this win we proved that we are as good as a top 15 team. We are a top 15 caliber team."
Adding to the Crimson desire was some negative treatment from the BYU coaching staff.
"On Saturday, [freshman defenseman] Katie Urbanic was talking to a friend of hers on the BYU team," Totman said. "A BYU coach saw them, sent Katie away, and told her that they could talk after they beat us."
