The slight advantage on the field finally showed up on the scoreboard when Yenne struck in the 34th minute. The scoring play developed from the left midfield as sophomore Caitlin Fisher passed the ball straight ahead to Westfall, who cut ahead of the Tiger defenders.

Yenne, who had been trailing behind Westfall, cut across to the center of the field unmarked. Westfall, streaking downfield, crossed the ball just outside the 18 to Yenne, who one-timed the ball into the right corner of the net for her Ivy-best ninth goal of the year.

"I saw Katie Westfall get a step on the defenders, and I knew she was going to get around them, so I cut to the center and let her know I was coming with her," Yenne said. "I think we were on the exact same page cause she saw me, and slipped one through. I just one-timed it, and it was awesome."

It took tremendous skill for Yenne to direct the ball with such accuracy.

"She first-timed a great goal," Wheaton said. "That's a tough shot to hit and she did a great job with it."

While Harvard had the edge in the first half, Princeton came out on fire and turned the game around in the second half. The Tigers could not tolerate losing to the Crimson for the eighth year in a row.

"They're a good team and they really took it to us at the beginning of the second half," Wheaton said.
