Harvard 2, Drexel 1
Hussey scored when she redirected Schoolwerth's desperation free hit from inside a scrum in front of the Drexel cage.
"It was a scramble in front of the net and [Hussey] touched it in," Schoolwerth said. "It came off a free hit from outside the circle and my teammates were just screaming at me to hit it and I put it into a big crowd in front of the net."
Harvard took the lead just under 10 minutes into the game on a similar play, when tri-captain Dominique Kalil deflected another free hit by Schoolwerth past the Dragons' keeper Heather Haigh, who made six saves to Cowan's four on the afternoon.
"It was another deflection--it seems like that's how every goal is scored on grass," Schoolwerth.
Drexel's Pamie Zukowski, who led the Dragons with 14 goals and five assists entering Saturday's game, notched the equalizer with 17:15 left in the first off an assist from Kelly O'Donnell.
That tie lasted until Hussey's game-winner, which marked the second time in two games that Harvard had won in the last 10 seconds. Junior Maisa Badawy won last Saturday's overtime decision at Brown on a breakaway with just 10 seconds left.
