The first half, though, was sluggish on both sides. At halftime, neither team was able to get on the board.

Finally, in the 58th minute, Penn broke the scoreless tie, as Kellianne Toland fed Heather Taylor for the game's opening score and her third goal of the season.

The Quakers remained on top until the 72nd minute, when Yenne knotted the game at one goal apiece with a shot from the 18-yard line that found the top right corner of the net. Yenne, who leads the team with four goals in three games, beat two Penn defenders on the play.

Harvard's second strike followed almost immediately afterwards, as senior midfielder Meredith Stewart booted the ball from thirty yards out to put the Crimson ahead. Junior forward Erin Aeschliman actually initiated the play by collecting the rebound off her own shot and delivering a pass to Stewart for the assist.

In earning the win, the Crimson overcame a very physical Quaker defense that registered 22 fouls. Harvard ended up outshooting Penn, 11-6, forcing Quakers goalkeeper Katherine Hart to make six saves.

Harvard's pressure on offense also earned the team nine corner kicks.

"We were dominating," Corkery said. "[Penn] worked extremely hard, but we were in control. Especially in the second half, we came out really strong. We were getting to balls a lot quicker, and I think Penn was a little surprised."
