"We were working hard to isolate Alli on the right side and it worked," Corkery said. "She was able to go one-on-one for most of the day. The strange thing was that they didn't really adjust. Eventually they put someone else down there, but she kept scoring."
Corkery herself added a pair to bring her total on the season to three goals and two assists, while freshman Ashley Harmeling scored her first collegiate goal and then added a second later in the match.
Sophomore Leslie Moroz and junior Lizzy Frisbie rounded out the scoring for the Crimson with one goal a piece.
Harvard was able to use its superior speed to its advantage against the Eagles, breaking out quickly and scoring on the fly.
"The best part of our game was transition," Corkery said. "We were able to get up the field quickly and put the ball in the net."
The Harvard's quick start is even more impressive in light of the recent constraints on the teams ability to practice outdoors.
"We haven't been outside practicing much," Corkery said. "We've been practicing inside instead and haven't had the advantage of playing on a full field."
