With its 7-0 win over Davidson on Sunday, the Harvard women's soccer team officially passed the halfway point of the 2000 season and, after initially stumbling out of the gate, the Crimson is now exactly where it wants to be entering the stretch run.

Entering its tilt with Yale at Ohiri Field tomorrow at 2:30 p.m., Harvard (7-2, 2-1 Ivy) is riding a five-game winning streak and stands in prime position to gain ground in the Ivy League standings.

With a win over the Elis (7-4-1, 1-2), the Crimson would pick up a game on either Brown or Princeton, who face off today for sole position of first place in the Ivy League. Should Princeton prevail and Harvard win, the Crimson would regain control of its fate in the league race, as it will take on the Tigers a week from today.

The Crimson has already lost to Brown, however, and thus, should the Bears beat Princeton tonight, the league would essentially be theirs to lose.

Regardless, Harvard's first priority is to prevail against Yale tomorrow and that itself will be no easy task. The Elis are coming off a stunning 1-0 upset victory over No. 18 UConn on Wednesday.

The win marked the first time Yale had ever beaten the Huskies. After going through an 0-3 stretch in mid-September, the Elis have now won four out of their last five contests.

"Yale will give us a tough game, they always do," said senior midfielder Meredith Stewart. "Since they're coming off a huge win, it will give us more to consider. They'll be even more excited to beat us."

Manning the charge on the front lines for Yale tomorrow will be sophomore forward Chandra King. The leading scorer in Ivy play in 1999, King netted the Elis' game-winner against UConn.
