Fittingly, the Harvard co-captains, Sarles and Maisa Badawy, would score the final two Crimson goals of the season. With seven minutes left in the first half--10 minutes after the Demon Deacons had taken the lead with their second goal off of a corner--Harvard earned its second corner of the game.
"Right before that corner, Maisa came up to me and said, 'I have a good feeling about this,'" Sarles said. "She's never done that. It really got me pumped up."
Sarles converted a direct shot off the penalty corner to tie the game. Turck and Badawy earned the assists.
"Katie had a perfect pass, Maisa had a perfect stop, and the ball was just there and I hit it well enough to get it into the net," Sarles said.
Wake Forest scored its third go-ahead goal of the day early in the second half. Six minutes later, Badawy and freshman forward Kate McDavitt, teamed up to net the equalizer.
McDavitt, taking the ball after a free hit, maneuvered through an entourage of Demon Deacon defenders and passed off to Badawy in front of the net, where she lifted the ball over the Wake Forest keeper for the final Crimson goal.
The tourney closed out the careers of Sarles, Badawy and forward Kate Nagle. This year's senior class led Harvard to its first six-win Ivy campaign--good for second place--and its most successful season since 1991.
"It was a fun game for us to finish out," Sarles said.
