Tri-captain Leslie Bennett feels confident that the team can do more than merely sneak into the Nationals next week.
"I think we'll win," Bennett said. "We've played UMass a few times this year, and we keep getting closer."
UMass 6, Harvard 2
In the last meeting at Princeton, UMass jumped out to an early six-goal lead in the first quarter, and Harvard was unable to put any consistent offense together until late in the game.
Although Harvard still struggled scoring, the offense was more fluid and the team was much more confident this time around.
The Crimson managed to keep it close, trailing 2-0 at the end of the first quarter.
The Minutewomen added another point to the board before junior Natasha Magnuson broke the shutout, powering in a rebound off a missed penalty shot with thirty-eight seconds remaining in the first half.
