In goal, tri-captain Anya Cowan has been outstanding. Cowan's 1.76 GAA is fourth best in the Ivy League. She has been a workhorse in goal for the Crimson, and leads the league in minutes played.

Harvard learned Wednesday that it can give Cowan a rest. Junior backup Jen Crusius, subbing in for Cowan against Quinnipiac, posted a shutout in her first career start.

Saturday's game against Cornell is key for the Crimson's Ivy title chances. Harvard is in a three-way for first place with Princeton and Brown, and tomorrow's game is the team's last Ivy contest until October 23rd when it hosts Princeton.

"Princeton's lost a lot of people since last year and we've gotten a lot better," Sarles said. "The championship's going to come down to who plays harder and who wants it more, and we want to be the first team to beat Princeton."

One way or another, the three-way deadlock will be broken tomorrow. All eyes will be on the showdown in Providence as No.16 Princeton takes the field against No.19 Brown.

Harvard hopes to join the winner on top.
