W. Lacrosse Faces No. 10 Dartmouth

The Crimson defense will also have to keep an eye on junior Alison Moulin, who contributed three goals and an assist in the Penn State win. Earlier this season, Moulin scored six goals in a 19-5 victory over Columbia. Senior Amy Zimmer, who has scored several last-second, game-winning goals this season, has been another important offensive weapon for the Big Green.

Harvard, however, is confident that it can neutralize Dartmouth's multifaceted attack. In addition to junior Lizzy Frisbie, who led the Crimson in scoring against the Tigers Sunday, Austin and senior co-captain Alli Harper, who led the Ivies in scoring only two weeks ago, have helped to anchor a potent Harvard offense.

"We will beat [Dartmouth] if we stay aggressive and unite as a team," Austin said.

In the Crimson's contest against the Tigers on Saturday, Princeton dominated the first minutes of the game by scoring four unanswered points.

"We let [Princeton] get us at the beginning," Austin said.

Harvard quickly battled back, closing in on the lead just before halftime, but Princeton scored two quick goals late in the half to stifle the effort.

"We were able to fight back, but there were a few calls during the game that hurt us," Austin said.
