Field Hockey Stuns UNH in OT Thriller, Tops Columbia 4-1

"Kalen juked the goalie and crossed it and I just finished," Dick said. "Weak post is all about position, and I was in the right place at the right time."

Cowan stoned a good UNH chance with about six minutes remaining in regulation, dropping down to block Wildcat forward Jessica Russell's one-on-one shot.

"We were able to regroup at halftime, and that shows heart and character," Caples said. "We talked about just chipping away, getting the first goal, and then when the second came very quickly, that took momentum away. During the overtime, UNH was just standing around."

Harvard dominated the overtime session, playing most of it in UNH territory, before Nagle notched her game-winner and was mobbed by her teammates coming off the bench.

"In the second half, I think we saw how much this team is capable of," Caples said. "We've got some feisty, hungry players, some good goal scorers and our forwards are very hard to mark. This win is tremendous for our confidence. It shows we can come back and refocus ourselves."
