Yale keeper Courtney Lane drifted up from the back line to contest the look, but Ingram buried a hard shot into the bottom right corner of the cage, then flipped her stick into the air in celebration.

"I beat the defender on a reverse and pulled it to the top of the circle," Ingram said. "[Flipping my stick] was just my excitement. I don't normally get that excited when I score."

Ingram also figured in the Crimson's second goal, which came from Nagle off a penalty corner with 11:50 remaining in the second half.

After a long run by Kalil resulted in a corner, the Crimson called a misdirection play that Caples said she had introduced only at the previous day's practice.

Kalil faked a pass to the top of the circle, then sent the ball from the back line to Ingram on the right wing, who drove a hard shot on goal, where Lane deflected it with a pad save.

But Lane was unable to cover up the rebound, and Nagle, who had crept in on the doorstep, tucked it into the open left half of the net for a 2-0 lead.

"We like trying something different," Caples said. "We put that corner in yesterday, and we probably practice a handful with that option [passing to Ingram] and a handful of other options, and that was it. Teams scout you, and since we've never showed that play before, it adds an element of surprise."
