But Harvard drew upon past experiences and did not panic.

“I think one of the beauties of playing a tough schedule is that you get used to playing in every different type of situation,” Baskind said. “I think we’ve been there before.”

With 21:50 left, Tetreault scored off of a free-position shot to cut the Lions’ lead to two. With 16:08 remaining, sophomore Jennifer VanderMeulen cut to the middle and scored off of an assist by Tetreault. One and a half minutes later, Tetreault scored on a fast break to knot the score at 8-all, the first tie of the game.

The scoring surge continued for the Crimson.

Less than a minute later, Baskind scored off a free-position shot to give Harvard its first lead of the game, and VanderMeulen scored the next two to put the Crimson up by three.

“We started to win the draw controls,” Miller said. “Draw controls in this game are everything.”

Three more goals by Halpern, Tetreault and VanderMeulen put Harvard up, 14-8, with 5:13 remaining, and helped seal the come-from-behind victory for the Crimson.

“We started to run some set pieces,” Miller said. “Then we can go back to our motion after we run that ... We’ll find a way to score one way or another.”

VanderMeulen led Harvard with five goals on the day, four of which came during the Crimson’s 9-0 run in the second half.

“She’s a goal scorer,” Miller said. “Goal scorers need to score or they get tight ... I think as soon as the first one fell, you could see her kind of loosen up a little bit.”

Halpern, Baskind and Tetreault each finished the day with three goals, while sophomore Nina Kucharczyk scored one.

Junior goalie Kerry Clark had five saves on the afternoon.

With Saturday’s win, Harvard can now clinch a share of the Ivy League title with a win at Dartmouth on Friday night.

“I think anyone who was watching it would say it was ugly, and it was,” Baskind said. “What’s important is that it’s another Ivy League win for us.”
