Stunned, the Crimson defense never regained its focus, and let up a second goal off of another Quaker cross from deep in Harvard's end. This time the centering pass came from the left side and found senior forward Reginald Veal moving across the goal mouth towards the near post. Veal flicked the ball with his left foot to the right side of the net and beat Mejias, who was moving the other way.

The Quakers, who did not have the talent in the offensive end to put constant pressure on the net, spent the rest of the half trying to find another lucky touch in Harvard's box. The Crimson appeared disoriented and could not mount an organized attack as it had at the beginning of the first period.

The Quakers completed the comeback in the first minutes of the second half, when junior midfielder Henry Chen beat Mejias on a penalty kick at 50:01.

The Crimson created a number of chances over the next few minutes, but could not find the back of the net.

Mangrum, who came in as a substitute after Penn's third goal, used his fresh legs to consistently beat his defender along the right side, but numerous centering passes found no one in the box.

As the game wound down, it looked as though Penn was going to register its first Ivy League win in two seasons, but the Crimson struck twice in the 79th minute to put the Quakers away.

Montoy was once again at the front end of the goal, after he ripped a low shot from the top of the box towards the right corner of the net. O'Connor saw the ball well and went to the ground to smother the shot, but could not hold on.

The ball rolled slowly to Petruccelli, who put the ball neatly into the back netting at 79:03.
