The pass led Moore perfectly, as she found herself alone with Big Green junior goalkeeper Kristin Luckenbill, last year's Ivy Player of the Year. Moore composed herself, drove left, waited for Luckenbill to commit and sent the ball into the lower right corner of the goal for the score and a 2-0 Harvard lead.
"[Moore's] goal was just awesome," Harvard Coach Tim Wheaton said. "They have a tendency to overslide and Ashley made a great pass. And Colleen was just so composed with the ball"
"I really didn't do much [for the goal]," Moore said. "I was just there and Ashley played a brilliant ball."
Having dominated the game throughout most of the contest and with a two-goal lead, it seemed as if it would be just a matter of running out the clock for the Crimson victory.
But with just under three minutes left in the game the Harvard defense that had been stellar all afternoon had a momentary lapse, giving Dartmouth a last chance at a comeback.
Big Green freshman midfielder Devon Haskell lobbed a nice pass to senior forward Jessica Post, who had sneaked by two Crimson defenders.
Post dribbled the ball into the Harvard box and sent a drive into the right corner of the net past freshman goalkeeper Cheryl Gunther.
