"It was tough--the type of game where we didn't have a lot of opportunities but we certainly capitalized when we had them," Coach Sue Caples said. "Sometimes the games are like that."

Harvard kept B.C. out of scoring range for the vast majority of the night. The closest the Eagles came to scoring was on its third penalty corner of the second half, immediately after Harvard took the lead. B.C. peppered freshman keeper Katie Zacarian with three shots while she lay sprawled across the goal. Then the referee's whistle blew, ending the threat.

The Crimson's superb ball control left B.C. helpless to score in the game's final minutes. Freshman forward Kate McDavitt managed to clear the ball out of the Harvard zone to sophomore forward Philomena Gambale, who maneuvered back and forth along the left sideline deep in the B.C. end.

For the next three minutes, Harvard ran down the clock by wasting time in the left corner, while B.C. knocked the ball out of bounds four times, before finally conceding the penalty corner that led to Park's goal, her second in as many games.

"We moved well, we had some good overlap and we created good opportunities," Caples said. "We did the little things that counted."

McDavitt had game's first significant scoring opportunity on a wild run to the net 12 minutes into the second half. At midfield, she stole the ball from a pair of Eagle defenders and broke to the goal with nothing but waterlogged turf ahead of her.

As she came near the goaltender, one of the defenders managed to catch McDavitt, and she ran out of space.
