In the end, though, the Crimson, buoyed by Kelly's 51st minute rocket, beat the Bulldogs 3-2 to collect its first league win and to send Yale home with bruised bodies and broken pride.

"There was extra incentive to get up for this game because its one of the biggest rivalries in sports," said freshman midfielder Kevin Ara. "Now, [the freshmen] have three more years to go out and beat Yale."

While the soccer battle was raging on the Ohiri Field, another Harvard-Yale confrontation was taking place across the road on Jordan Field.

The No. 19 Harvard field hockey team dismantled Yale and showed why it is a legitimate contender for the Ivy League championship. Although the first half ended in a scoreless tie, the Crimson quickly proceeded to get on the board with a goal from junior forward Jane Park.

Later in the second half, two shots from freshman Mina Pell were essentially caught by Yale defenders and gave Harvard two penalty strokes. Sophomore Katie Scott and junior Katie Turck converted on the penalty strokes, respectively, to give the Crimson a commanding 3-0 lead.

Freshman goaltender Katie Zacarian (and yes, 25% of the Crimson team is named Katie) pitched her second straight shutout, continuing her phenomenal stint in goal this season.

Fast-forward a couple hours and return to the venue of our first victory over the Elis, Ohiri Field. After the Crimson men's tough win, the Crimson women's soccer team decided to put away the game without a struggle.
