Dartmouth's aggressiveness was evident in the final 10 minutes, as the Big Green barely missed on a number of scoring chances, and dove at every loose ball that was just out of reach.

Right after the scoreboard clock ticked under five minutes, Dartmouth finally got on the board though its sixth and final penalty corner of the day. On the play, forward Lisa Thomas passed left to Steele, who slapped the ball just inside the left post.

"We had some lapses, but they were really hanging with us," Caples said.

Although Dartmouth had cut the deficit in half, the Crimson rendered the comeback impossible by going on the attack for the rest of the game. Harvard earned two more penalty corners in the final minutes for a total of nine on the day.

On the last one, Sarles hit the ball through a crowd of people in front for her first goal of the season. Her goal put the Crimson up 3-1 and iced the victory.

"We played our most complete game of the season today," Caples said.
