After beating No. 9 BYU in a last-minute thriller on Monday afternoon to extend its unbeaten streak to five games, the Harvard women's soccer team (6-1-1, 3-0 Ivy) looks to gain an even stronger grip on the top spot in the Ivy League standings as it visits Cornell Saturday afternoon.

As Harvard sits on its perch, the other teams in the Ivy League are taking aim.

Brown (2-6-1, 0-2-1 Ivy) lost two nail-biters on the road in span of three days.

A goal by freshman striker Amy Alboro gave Brown a temporary 2-1 second-half lead against Rhode Island on Tuesday afternoon. But the Bears were unable to maintain their aggressiveness and gave up two goals in the last 25 minutes of the game to lose to the Rams 3-2 in regulation.

Brown also lost 1-0 to Dartmouth on Saturday, after giving up a quick goal minutes into the match.

The Bears play host to Princeton, the second-place team in the Ivy, this Friday afternoon at home.

Princeton (5-2-1, 2-0-1 Ivy) defeated Monmouth for only the second time in its history Tuesday afternoon by the score of 1-0 on the Tigers' home turf.

Princeton freshman forward Krista Ariss netted the game-winning goal late in the match to cap off an unbeaten week for the Tigers. They tied Yale 2-2 last Saturday at home. The tie dropped them out of a first place tie with Harvard, in the Ivy League.
