Yenne scored her fourth goal and added her fifth assist in Wednesday’s victory. Costello’s goal was her seventh on the year, and she leads the team with fifteen points. Also scoring on Wednesday were junior forward Beth Totman, junior midfielder Orly Ripmaster, and co-captain Colleen Moore. Moore’s goal was her first since tearing her ACL against Hartford last season.
“We’re all having fun,” Costello said. “We’ve really gelled in the last few games and started playing as a core, unlike in the past.”
Ripmaster in particular has been hot recently. In the 3-0 victory over Ivy foe Cornell on Oct. 13, she had a goal and two assists. She added anothergoal and assist on Wednesday to bring her team lead for assists to seven.
Ripmaster and Yenne are tied for second in the team points total on the year with 13 each.
While the Princeton game is easily Harvard’s biggest Ivy game of the year, the team is unfazed.
“We know that Ivy League games are always huge battles,” Yenne said, “but we’re confident about our team.”
The face-off with the Tigers begins at noon on Saturday.
