Penn has been able to keep that focus thus far and can clinch the Ivy League title with two more wins this weekend.
In the meantime, Harvard must concentrate on what it has to do itself--win its remaining five league games.
That task will begin tonight, when Harvard will host Princeton (1-8, 1-21).
In a similar situation to last weekend's game against Yale, Princeton comes into town as the cellar team in the Ivies.
Harvard cannot afford to overlook the Tigers, however. In their first meeting of the year, the Crimson found itself trailing 35-23 at the half before a 26-4 second half run put the game out of reach.
Freshman Hana Peljto, junior Katie Gates and sophomore Sarah Johnson each scored in double digits in that contest and the Crimson will need strong performances by each of these players again this weekend.
Peljto, who has been the star for the Crimson this season, scored a career-high 27 points in last weekend's overtime loss to Yale and was named Ivy League Rookie of the Week for the sixth time this season and the third week in a row.
