This time, VanderMeulen would be the one to step up, rushing down the field and scoring off a free position shot just 35 seconds later to give Harvard the 9-8 lead.
With the Minutewomen’s defensive attention focused on Crimson junior Jess Halpern—last season’s Ivy League leader in goals per game—other members of the team were freed up for scoring opportunities.
Classmate Alexis Dal Col tallied five goals on eight shots, while VanderMeulen added four scores, including the game-winner. Rounding out the scoring for the Crimson was rookie Danielle Tetreault, who finished with one score on two shots.
In addition to employing high defensive pressure, the Minutewomen also focused on shutting down Halpern, who accounted for 28 percent of her team’s scoring a season ago. Facing heavy defensive attention, Halpern was only able to come away with a single shot.
Harvard dismantled any threat that Williams attempted, beating all nine opponents in three sets, with the highest scoring game coming in the No. 5 spot, when Kingshott allowed the Eph’s Caroline Henry to score a mere seven points in the third game.
