With the score tied, co-captain and midfielder Audrey Todd found senior attacker Alexis Nicolia on an unmarked run towards the Penn goal. Nicolia fired a shot into the far side of the net to hand the Crimson its first advantage of the game.

Harvard was unable to enter halftime with the lead, though, as Condon finally found her scoring form in the closing moments of the first frame, slamming home a rebound with one second left on the clock after seeing her first effort turned away by Weis.

Unwilling to surrender the advantage for long, the Crimson came out firing after the break, and Todd picked up a pair of finishes to put her team ahead by two points by the halfway point of the second stanza.

However, two Harvard fouls helped to erase the team’s advantage, as Penn converted a free position shot after a Crimson penalty and then scored in a man-up position following a Harvard yellow card. The resulting tie would last until the end of regulation time, and the contest entered sudden-death overtime.

After a goalless first period of overtime, the momentum swang in the Quakers’ favor. With just under a minute and a half remaining in the second overtime, Penn sophomore attacker Caroline Cummings beat two Harvard defenders and finished off a curving run with a low shot past Weis to decide the victory for the Quakers.

Although the result ended Harvard’s season, the team is taking some solace in the competitiveness of the contest against a top-10 squad.

“It stings to lose like that, but we played a great game,” Weis said. “The coaches have been instilling grit in us for the entire season, and that really showed [in the game].”
