The goal was Moore’s first since tearing her ACL last season.

The goal gave the Crimson a commanding 5-1 lead with almost a third of the game remaining, allowing Harvard’s bench to see game action against a quality opponent.

“We have a lot of talented players, more than can play in a normal game,” Wheaton said. “It’s huge [that they get to play], because they are going to be asked to win games for us in the future. Everyone played today, and you couldn’t tell the difference between the starters and the reserves.”

After striking just three minutes into the game, the Terrier defense slowed Harvard for over half the period, but with 16:45 remaining in the first half, junior forward Joey Yenne scored on an pass from junior midfielder Orly Ripmaster to give Harvard a 2-0 advantage.

The Crimson stretched its lead to 3-0 several minutes later. With 7:26 to play before the break, sophomore forward Caitlin Fisher maneuvered past thee Terrier defenders before sending a pass to freshman forward Emily Colvin. Colvin passed to Ripmaster, who pushed the ball into the net for the score.

Harvard next hosts Princeton on Saturday at 12 p.m. in what could be its biggest home match of the season. Both teams enter the Ivy League showdown with perfect 3-0 conference records.
