Senior Amber Bledsoe also played in net for the Bears and was able to stop all five shots on goal she received. Although Weisman scored the lone goal of the match, other members of the Crimson presented offensive threats throughout the game.
Freshmen forwards Margaret Purce, Joan Fleischman, and Karly Zlatic all had two shots on goal, while Cassells-Hamby and junior defender Marie Margolius each added one a piece.
“Brown came prepared today and changed their play to fit our passing lines,” Weisman said. “Over the course of the game we figured out how to play around them and how to get shots on the goal.”
For Harvard, this is the team’s fourth win in a row, and it has not lost a game since September 11. In its last 10 games, the Crimson has scored one goal or less only twice.
During that span, Harvard has held its opponent scoreless five times. Harvard stands atop the Ivy League standings, a full five points ahead of second place Penn.
“I can’t talk enough about the maturity of this team and their ability to take each practice one at a time and with that each game one at time,” Johnson said. “We try to have the mentality that the next game is always the most important team so we will just take it one step at a time.”
