With the Crimson threatening, the Brown defense was forced into drawing penalties which continued to give Harvard great opportunities to score.
Early in the second half, co-captain Maisa Badawy had a chance to score on a penalty corner.
After Brown junior goaltender Annie Owens stopped a penalty corner taken by Sarles, Badawy swooped in and lifted a high shot off the post and wide.
Badawy had another top-notch game at both ends of the field, leading the team's transition game along with fellow freshman midfielder Jen Ahn.
Warren Roof, the home of the Brown field hockey team, is located on the roof of the athletic complex, and in one of the game's more humorous moments, Badawy lifted a clearing shot over the wall and down several stories into the parking lot below.
Freshman goaltender Katie Zacarian once again played well, registering eight saves to earn her second career shutout.
With less than a minute remaining in regulation, Zacarian was forced to charge out of the net to stop a dangerous Bear scoring opportunity, and with time expiring, the Crimson defense successfully stopped a penalty corner to preserve the win.
