The Crimson used its transition game to great effect and junior attackman Dana Sprong converted a turnover off a Hobart clear into a 6-5 Harvard lead.

"Neither team cleared the ball well today," Anderson said. "We were fortunate the we were able to ride them so effectively since our offense was struggling."

Bebee and Crimson junior midfielder setup the nerve-racking conclusion to the game, each striking off face-off wins in a 45 second timespan to leave the score 7-6 Harvard, with 7:45 to go.

At the 5:00 mark, Harvard sophomore midfielder James Christian was called for a 1:00 slashing penalty. Hobart's Harvey exploited the foul for his second goal to tie the game at 7.

Just after the goal, Cynar made yet another spectacular save to keep the score even, and the Crimson then cleared the ball to DeVries, who was tripped for a thirty second penalty

Crimson junior midfielder Adam McGowan tallied the game winner, winning the battle in front of the goal for a DeVries' rebound with 2:47 to go.

But Harvard had to make one final stand. With :28.7 remaining, captain Jeff Psaki was whistled for a cross-checking penalty, giving Hobart a man-advantage for the rest of the game.

The Crimson defense broke up a pass that Hobart tried to thread though the middle of the field and cleared the ball all the way down to Hobart's end.
