Senior back Georgia McGillivray was able to shoot the ball past Zygmunt after a quick pass from freshman forward Noel Painter.

Painter finished with a goal and two assists during the course of two games over the weekend.

“Turning the game around was mostly mental,” Jenkins said. “We were basically at the same places that we practiced.”

After tying the game, the Crimson had many opportunities to get the go-ahead goal in regulation, but Harvard was unable to capitalize on either of two penalty corners.

At one point, co-captain midfielder Carly Dickson had a chance to put the Crimson on top with a penalty stroke, but her shot sailed high over the net.

Halfway into the season, the Harvard freshmen have already contributed greatly to the team, scoring eight out of the Crimson’s 23 goals.

“There are no freshmen at this point,” Caples said. “They all come with a lot of field hockey background and experience. They’re skilled [and] athletic, and they have speed. They’re competitors, and they get it done.”

The Crimson has won four straight games, and the squad currently boasts a 5-0 record at home.

Harvard will try to maintain its perfect home record next week as it faces off against sixth-ranked Stanford.

“I think we raised our level today, which is really very exciting,” Caples said. “[Sunday], we could see glimpses that the bar has been raised [for this team], and we can keep growing and keep getting better.”
