They couldn't have asked for a more perfect ending.

After beating Penn (4-2-1, 2-1 Ivy) on Saturday afternoon in a thrilling 2-1 overtime match, the Harvard women's soccer team capped off the Harvard Invitational with a sensational 1-0 victory against No. 9 BYU (11-2) yesterday afternoon.

Playing on a very soggy and slick Ohiri Field, the Crimson (6-1-1, 3-0) not only extended its unbeaten streak to five games, but also proved what many on the team already believed, that is a team to be reckoned with.

With the match seeming all but destined to go into overtime, freshman forward Beth Totman broke a scoreless tie with just 47 seconds left in regulation with a laser shot directed toward the far right post.

After the Cougars had missed an opportunity to score in Crimson territory just moments before, freshman forward Joey Yenne gained possession of the ball near midfield and spotted a cutting Totman.

After her teammate passed the ball upfield, Totman quickly split two BYU defenders and beat the goalie as her shot went into the upper right portion of the net.

"[Yenne] just passed the ball up the field, and the sweeper on the other side whiffed at the ball and it went under her foot," Totman said. "So I sped up and ran on top of it, beat the last defender, and just kicked it into the right corner of the goal."

Totman's goal capped off a dominating second half for the Crimson. Senior forward Beth Zotter led a consistent offensive attack while teammates Orly Ripmaster and Ashley Berman anchored a strong midfield.
