Harvard also attempted seven penalty corners, compared to only two by the Huskies, but couldn’t capitalize on the advantage.

“We have been working on a lot options for [the penalty corners]. We just need to get some of them down,” said Pell.

The Crimson was taking the field for the first time since a 1-0 loss to New Hampshire on September 9, while the Huskies hadn’t seen action since a 3-1 loss to No. 11 Penn State on September 8.

“Last week was tough, but I really don’t know why we played the way we did.,” Caples said. “We had good workouts Monday and Tuesday and we were back on track. Everyone’s in the same situation.”

Harvard continued to play without both captain Jane Park and sophomore forward Kate McDavitt, the Crimson’s lead returning scorer and a second-team All-Ivy selection last season. McDavitt tallied seven goals and five assists in her rookie campaign.

The Crimson will now look to rebound when it hosts Brown this Saturday in its Ivy League opener. A September 15 matchup against Penn, which would have been the first league game, was postponed due to last week’s terrorist attacks.
