Hosting No. 9 Dartmouth yesterday, the unranked Harvard women's lacrosse team was poised for an upset. After Dartmouth overcame a three-goal deficit in the course of a 9-1 run to win 15-9, the only people upset were on the Harvard sidelines.
With the Crimson (4-5, 2-3 Ivy) leading 7-4 late in the first half, Dartmouth senior Jacque Weitzel became Harvard's worst nightmare.
Weitzel scored four straight goals in a span of seven minutes to give the Big Green (10-1, 6-0 Ivy) an 8-7 lead.
Worst of all for the Crimson, she wasn't done yet.
After both teams exchanged goals to make it 9-8 in favor of the Big Green, Weitzel set up fellow senior Kate Graw to put Dartmouth up by two before scoring five goals of her own to single-handedly finish off the Crimson.
Weitzel finished with nine goals, including seven of her teams' nine second half scores, and Graw tallied four as the senior duo combined to score as many goals in a single game as any Harvard attacker has scored all season.
