At this point, the Elis began to get desperate, and play got more physical. Harvard handled the increased contact well, parlaying a Yale foul into another score just three minutes after Yenne's previous goal.

As sophomore midfielder Orly Ripmaster carried up the right sideline, a Yale defender collided with her, eliciting a whistle from the referee. After the quick start, Ripmaster continued up the sideline and crossed the ball over the stagnant Eli defense masterfully guiding it onto Yenne's head.

The Crimson's third goal finished Yenne's hat trick and sealed the game.

"Yenne's a machine," Wheaton said. "She's got the ability to get a ball that doesn't mean anything and score great goals".

The machine was only slowed up when she came out of the game in the 56th minute to enjoy a well-deserved rest.

Harvard's only blemish on the day came in the 73rd minute on strike by Eli freshman Katherine Sims beating freshman goalie Mollie Durkin, who replaced starter Cheryl Gunther after a clean 65 minutes.

It took a little while for the Crimson to find its groove. The first 10 minutes of the game were paced by an inefficient Bulldog attack. Yale's sloppy play near the Crimson net yielded only frustration for the visitors, allowing Yenne to get going. Harvard generate numerous scoring chances, but couldn't put one past Peterson until Yenne took control.
