W. Soccer One Win Away from Ivy Crown

After toppling No. 7 Connecticut on Wednesday, the Harvard women's soccer team continues to dominate the Northeast.

With a 1-0 victory over the Huskies (12-6), the No. 17 Crimson (12-1-1, 5-0 Ivy) took revenge on UConn for the past two years of dismal defeats, including a devastating 5-0 shutout two years ago.

But the trend won't stop there.

Harvard looks to extend its Ivy win streak to six games against rival Dartmouth, the team that stole the Ivy League championship from it last year in a 2-1 upset.

Although a repeat league title is out of the question, the No. 25 Big Green (8-6-1) is still volleying for an NCAA berth and a win over the Crimson could launch it in to position.

Dartmouth, trailing Harvard and UConn as No. 3 in the Northeast Division, is a stronger team than its record suggests.

"Dartmouth got off to a really bad start," freshman forward Beth Totman said. "They lost not necessarily a great player but a great leader, which affected them."

Currently boasting a three-game winning streak, the Big Green most recently felled non-Ivy opponent Boston University with a 3-1 victory.
