Harvard would score the eventual gamewinner just 42 seconds later, as Katherine Sheeleigh slid a shot past Rhody goalkeeper Sasha Reiber.

The Crimson got on the scoreboard first, as Melanie Baskind scored off a header on a long throw-in from Aisha Price in the 41st minute.

Reiber registered six saves in goal for Rhode Island, while her counterpart Writer made five saves. Harvard outshot URI, 21-18, with the home team holding an 8-6 edges in shots on-goal.

The Rams return to action on Sunday, Sept. 19 at Quinnipiac.
