The Crimson continued to claw back with a goal from senior Lauren Corkery. A minute later, a leaping interception by Frisbie gave Harvard possession again, and the offense settled down around the Penn circle. Alli Harper rolled around the crease to shoot the ball from the left side of the crease to the right corner of the goal to cut Penn's lead to 11-8.

But the Crimson's rally was cut short when the Quaker offense took advantage of Harvard's defensive slips. Marabella's pass found Hartman unguarded in the eight-meter fan, and she bounced a shot past Guyer. Sophomore Whitney Horton added the final blow with a high left shot off of a weak-side crease roll to bring the final score to 13-8.

"It was really disappointing," Austin said. "We should not have had any problems with Penn. They had nothing to lose. We were playing to not lose instead of playing to win."

"B.U. was a great win for us; it really put us in there," Austin added. "We have a lot of good opportunities in the next week and a half."

The Crimson will travel to Princeton next Saturday to face the No. 3 Tigers (8-1, 3-0 Ivy) followed by No. 11 Dartmouth (6-1, 3-1 Ivy) the week after. Harvard enters the week still looking for its first Ivy League win.
