She settled down soon, however, and struck out the side to end the threat.

Harvard got a chance to take the lead in the bottom of the inning but tough Terrier defense impeded the effort. After a walk and another Whitton hit, Harvard had runners on second and third with no outs. Horrick relieved Finateri and got junior Sarah Koppel to pop out.

Then Williamson lined the ball right back at the pitcher. Horrick snagged the ball and tossed over to third to double up the Crimson and end the inning.

Freshman pitcher Kara Brotemarkle pitched the final two shutout innings to pick up the win for the Crimson.

Harvard's victory was more impressive because during B.U.'s winning streak it had given up only four runs in 14 games. On Tuesday, the Crimson picked up 12 hits and only struck out four times.

"We're seeing the ball well, and we're focusing on hitting good pitches," Allard said. "Good things are happening."

In addition to Whitton's offense, Koral went 2-for-3 with two runs scored, and Watanabe hit safely in her two at-bats.

Harvard will travel to Dartmouth on Saturday to conclude its Ivy season. If it is able to sweep the Big Green, it will face Cornell in a playoff for the Ivy championship.
