Brown took over possession of the ball for much of the second half, topping Harvard in shots, 9-6, forcing the Crimson to increase the intensity and focus of its defense.

With 43 seconds left in game time, the Bears missed a key opportunity to score when Brown forward Chloe Cross took a free kick to the goal. Kanten, who recorded four of her five saves in the second period, snagged the ball to send the game into extra time, for the fifth time this season.

Entering overtime, the Crimson upped the intensity to aid their coach in reaching his milestone victory.

Harvard took advantage of its corner kick early in the first overtime period and gave Weisman the opportunity to bag the game winning goal. With it, the Crimson captured its second overtime victory of the year.

“[We] just had to keep pushing—it was a rough night for us,” Leone said. “We were off a little bit, on our play—just keep fighting, get one chance, and we got one chance, and that was it.”

Leone, who has led the team to three Ivy League titles in his time at Harvard, said that even though his team is now out of contention, he remains grateful to his players over the years

“It’s not about me,” Leone said. “[It’s] just about the team, and all of the teams that I’ve coached. I didn’t play in those games, but I’ve been very fortunate."
