New Haven, Sept 27
Yale 3, Harvard 2 (OT)

The game ended in the 94th minute.

Game Report

Harvard's 22-game unbeaten streak came to an abrupt end today, and their chances to extend their Ivy League title streak to 3 were greatly dimished.  Yale's goal just over 4 minutes into sudden death game the team plenty to think about on the bus back from New Haven.

It was a familiar story: Harvard outshot Yale, 24-13, but came up short on the stat that really counts, shots in the net.  It was a sweet revenge for Yale given what happened in last year's game at Ohiri: a 1-1 tie was broken by Naomi Miller's bomb from way out with just 11 seconds to go.  While Naomi (and linsday Minkus) still scored for the Crimson today, as the season matures, moments like that will need to become more than just a distant memory.

The team gets a break from competition until they arrive in Virginia this weekend to face two nationally-ranked teams (George Mason, host, and Maryland).  Although from a tournament standpoint these matched may not mean a lot (barring Harvard blowing them out), some good results in Fairfax could help the women greatly in the quest to regain the level of confidence they had last year.  They need to achieve that and combine it with losses by the Ivy leaders, Yale and (are you sitting down?) Penn, both 2-0-0 in the Ivy.

Team records:

Harvard:  4-2-1, 1-1-0 Ivy
Yale:  3-2-1, 2-0-0 Ivy
