Yale's fate was sealed as Harvard scored the game-winner at 63:24.

Yenne, who ranked fifth in the national high school annals for most goals scored--an incredible 71 in 18 games--took a pass from Weed to grab her second goal of the season, with Weed and Blain each notching an assist for the effort.

"I think we were just kind of playing around with the ball on the sidelines," Blain said. "A couple of passes in there, and then I sort of flicked it in the middle. Joey was right there and just hit a beautiful shot, a great shot."

With the Crimson up 1-0, the Bulldogs began to lose focus and started making mistakes, mistakes that perhaps cost them the win.

With less than 20 minutes to go, the Bulldogs had a golden opportunity to tie the game at 1-1. But Yale made a crucial mistake that may well have cost them the game.

Off a cleared corner, Yale sent a long ball from the sideline into the box, where a forward, who was unmarked, chose to play a weak header instead of putting the ball on the ground. That allowed Gunther to make the save and preserve the 1-0 lead.

After this demoralizing last chance, it seemed that Yale lost its momentum. The Crimson dominated the final minutes of the second half. The pace of the game slowed somewhat, as Harvard focused on protecting its lead, rather than increasing it to 2-0.
