W. Soccer Wins Ivy Opener

Tough Penn team not enough to beat defending champ

Harvard is now in a three-way tie for first place in the Ivy League, a position it occupied for all of last year.

"Above all, we want to win the Ivy League because that will give us a spot in the NCAA tournament," Corkery said. "And I think it shows what a great team we are that we were able to come back from being down on Saturday."

Harvard next faces No. 10 Hartford, which beat Yale 5-0 last week. The Crimson tied the Hawks 2-2 last season.

Harvard's next Ivy match comes against Brown on Saturday. The Bears have yet to play their first league game.

Notes

Sophomore back Katie Urbanic was not available for the second straight game because of a back strain. She is the fourth Crimson sophomore to miss time this season because of an injury. Her status is day-to-day.

Stewart's game-winning tally was actually her second in as many seasons. In 1999, she scored the deciding goal in Harvard's 2-1 overtime victory over Princeton.

With Saturday's loss, Penn saw its nine-game home winning streak come to an end. The Quakers had not lost a contest at Rhodes Field since October 31, 1998, when they dropped a 2-0 decision to Yale.
