Colvin said there was no specific strategy that accounted for the offense’s awakening.
“We just knew we had to pick our passes,” she said.
Harvard coach Tim Wheaton also noticed a difference after halftime, when the Crimson began to work the ball inside and outside as it effectively advanced it up the field.
Early in the game, Wheaton had repeatedly urged his team to attack with combination play in the midfield.
“We were just knocking around balls in the first half,” Wheaton said. “[In the second half], we began playing the way we know how.”
Immediately after the game, Wheaton was unsure of the extent of his players’ injuries.
“It is too early to tell,” he said. “We are always going to err on the side of being cautious.”
However, Wheaton did note that Westfall is planning to return this Saturday, when the Crimson travels to New Haven to play Yale.
