In the 53rd minute, Gambale stole the ball from a Terrier back and broke in alone on the goal, but Harrington raced out of the net to break up the play.

The Terriers’ best scoring opportunity came in the 52nd minute, but a sprawling save by Zacarian turned away a penalty corner shot by junior Casey Holman.

The Crimson dominated the final 10 minutes of the game before B.U. made a final push in the waning seconds. With less than a minute left, Zacarian thwarted Terrier sophomore Celeste Hubbard’s attempt and Harvard held on for the victory.

It was Zacarian’s fourth shutout of the season.

Harvard Coach Sue Caples was proud of the team’s consistent intensity and focus throughout the game.

“We played a complete game today,” Caples said. “We were a very disciplined team out there today on the defensive side, and we moved the ball well.”

Dartmouth 4, Harvard 2

The Big Green took advantage of some sloppy early play by the Crimson to defeat Harvard at Jordan Field on Friday.

Dartmouth began the scoring on its second penalty corner in the third minute of the game. After Zacarian stopped the initial shot, Big Green forward Lauren Talbot stuffed home the rebound to put Dartmouth ahead 1-0.

The penalty corner came as a direct result of the Big Green’s first corner when Harvard’s defense failed to clear the ball after a Zacarian save.

Dartmouth tacked on another goal four minutes later after another breakdown in the Crimson backfield.

The Big Green sent a long pass downfield which got past senior back Sarah Luskin and was picked up by a wide open Lauren Welsh. Welsh dribbled past a diving Zacarian and guided the ball into the empty cage for a 2-0 Dartmouth advantage less than seven minutes into the game.

The Crimson started a small rally after the second Big Green goal and converted on its fourth penalty corner of the half. Sophomore forward Mina Pell tipped in a slapper by Maasdorp to pull Harvard within 2-1 with 18 minutes left in the first half.

However, the Big Green responded and regained a two-goal advantage five minutes later on another penalty corner. Dartmouth back Rebekka Stucker tipped a shot by Carolyn Steele past Zacarian to make the score 3-1 heading into the half.
