"We're lucky to have Maryland on our schedule. You couldn't have played out there without learning something about flawless stickhandling and how to play incredibly hard," said Kleinfelder. "It might be a hard way to learn but we learned a lot today."
This season Kleinfelder has focused on scheduling top-quality teams with experience to challenge the young team. The Crimson also played No. 13 Boston University last Wednesday, losing 15-7.
Harvard 11, Penn 5
Lee opened the scoring for Harvard, putting one past the Quakers' goalie early on to put the Crimson on the board. Asano and sophomore Lauren Corkery added to the fuel with a goal and an assist apiece in the first 30 minutes. At the end of the half Harvard led 5-2.
The domination continued as Harvard outscored Penn in the second half 6-3. Both Asano and Corkery netted a second goal.
"I see a lot of good things happening out there but there is a lot we need to work on," said Asano. "We went to goal well but we need to work on our midfield transition."
The Quakers were led by freshman Traci Marabella who had three goals and one assist.
