After shutting out Brown and Boston University, a win against Harvard would clinch the Ivy League title for the Red.
After a shutout win against Penn, the Red take down Syracuse in double overtime.
“In my opinion, right now, she’s probably the best player in the country,” said head coach Andy Smith.
Caroline Ramsey stands alone as the all-time points leader and the first to hit 100 career points in program history.
Field hockey is 1-2 through its first three games.
“Picking up the energy was a big thing. I think in the first 7 minutes [of the game] we came off kind of slow,” Ramsey said. “But from the second quarter and on, we really picked it up from there. So, going into the third, we were just focused on keeping up and playing the game.”
“We played very well but we didn’t take advantage of our offensive opportunities when we had them and didn’t execute on our penalty corners [which] cost us the game,” Smith said.
“Everybody who played today was fantastic and the bench was fantastic,” Smith said. “It was a team performance.”
“Everything is still on the table,” Smith said. “You know, we have four games left and we can do a lot in those four games and create some history for ourselves at the end of the season.”
“[In the first half] we were playing very fast and composed,” said senior midfielder Julia Darmo. “In the second half, Penn really came out a lot faster than they had been playing in the first half, so it might have caught us off guard a bit. I really think we were able to handle it, but unfortunately, they did score twice and we weren’t able to finish on the other side.”
