Harvard’s freshman kicker Dylan Fingersh stunned the University of Pennsylvania on Saturday with a game-winning field goal as time expired, as the Crimson defeated the Quakers 31-28.

The victory, which came minutes before the Dartmouth Big Green dropped a crucial game to the Cornell Big Red, allowed Harvard to secure a share of the Ivy League title for the second straight season.

The Crimson will now be in prime position to win the title outright, just needing a victory against Yale University next week to become the sole Ivy champion for the first time since 2014.

For much of the game, victory looked just out of reach for the Crimson. In the first quarter, starting quarterback Jaden Craig went down after a scary hit in the first half. DePrima, the opening day starter last season, entered the game having only thrown seven passes on the season, but took over with just over five minutes left in the first half.

Despite the loss of Craig, it was Harvard’s defense that nearly cost the team the game. As Harvard began to score on nearly every drive from the second quarter onwards, the Crimson struggled to hold a combination of quarterback scrambles from Penn quarterback Liam O’Brien, runs by running back Malachi Mosley and a receptions by Bisi Owens.

Still, DePrima’s athleticism proved unstoppable for the Quakers as his legs propelled the Crimson to the last-minute comeback. After not leading once the entire game, the field goal on the final drive finally brought Harvard out ahead when it counted.
