HARVARD 3, UNH 0

Senior Beverlie Ting made the first two goals of her collegiate career count.

Ting and sophomore Devon Shapiro combined for the only offense Harvard needed as Knoche and the Crimson defense blanked UNH (2-3) by a score of 3-0 at Jordan Field.

At 14:08, Ting drew first blood by deflecting a pass from captain midfielder Jen McDavitt, and then converted a dime from freshman midfielder Tami Jafar at 15:48.

McDavitt and senior midfielder Jane Sackovich then assisted Shapiro, who beat Wildcats goalie Margaux Shute to her left at 24:47.

HARVARD 2, UMASS 0

After nothing but defense for the first hour of Harvard’s season opener, McDavitt and Lane turned in two scores amid a second-half offensive outburst, beating UMass (0-4) 2-0.

McDavitt’s third shot was the charm as she banged in a rebound past Minutemen netminder Becky LeTourneau at 60:03. Soon after, Lane followed by driving to the net alone, besting LeTourneau at 61:20.

“We’ve been working hard in preseason and we’ve managed to put it together,” Lane said.

The Crimson ultimately took an astonishing 14 shots on goal after the intermission to finish the contest with a 16-4 edge and a 7-1 advantage in penalty corners.

Knoche’s first collegiate start, notably, was a shutout.
