The play was immediately ruled dead, however, after the referee determined the goal was scored after Gambale redirected the pass with a high-stick above her waist.
"It was really frusturating to have Philomena's goal called back," Ahn said. "If didn't get the goal we should have definitely had a penalty. The other team lifted the ball in the air but you can't dwell on it. We still had time and plenty of opportunities."
Despite being outplayed, outshot, and outchanced, Harvard refused to be outworked.
Although UConn was the clear favorite heading into the game, Harvard had the Huskies worried.
"They were definitely getting frustrated out there on the field," Ahn said. "We played really strong and tough against them."
After the Huskies took the lead on another penalty corner early in the first half, Harvard didn't take long to put the Huskies back on their haunches.
Just a little over five minutes after the Huskies initial strike, McDavitt split the defense and put a bouncing shot under the outstretched arm of UConn goaltender Alana Linick to knot the game at one a piece.
