Against Princeton, a week later, the duo of Baskind and Le once again proved detrimental to Harvard’s counterparts as the two scored back-to-back goals once more to take a decisive lead and ultimately, the match.

In the Crimson’s game against Dartmouth, though, it was all about Johnson. The score was tied at the 89:50 mark, 1-1, when the referee’s whistle blew, calling a foul on the Big Green. Seconds later, the ball was in the back of the net as Johnson drilled a free kick from 20 yards away only moments before regulation ended. With that shot and that win, Harvard clinched at least a partial share of the Ivy Championship and a bid to the NCAA tournament. It would be Johnson’s fourth and final goal of the season.

“I think for 15 minutes straight afterwards I couldn’t say any words, I just screamed. Anybody would say my name, and I would just yell,” Johnson says. “We were all numb, I put on my jacket afterwards, and I couldn’t feel it on my arms. We were just dancing in the locker room, numb and pink-skinned. I’ll never forget that. That was really just this season in a moment for me.”

Following Urke’s goal in the dramatic regular season finale against Columbia, the Crimson’s next destination was the first round of the NCAA tournament against Boston University, a team that they had lost to earlier in the season. But that is where Harvard’s journey would end in 2011 as the offensive prowess of the Terriers dominated and, once again, was able to give the team a 3-0 victory over the Crimson.

Baskind was unanimously named Ivy League Player of the Year and earned All-Mid-Atlantic honors, while Johnson and co-captain Lindsey Kowal were elected onto the All-Ivy First Team. Senior Becca Millock and freshman Meg Casscells-Hamby were named to the second team.
