No. 15 Field Hockey Edges Delaware, 2-1, on Broze's Fourth Quarter Goal

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – With under 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, junior Mazarine Broze scored the game-winning goal to break a 1-1 tie and lift No. 15 Harvard field hockey (11-3) past Delaware (5-10) on Sunday afternoon at Berylson Field.

Harvard Highlights

Harvard struck first midway through the opening quarter on a penalty corner opportunity. First-year Bronte-May Brough fired a bouncing shot past Delaware goalkeeper Lizzie Gaebel with 6:18 to play in the quarter to give the Crimson the lead.
 
However, Delaware responded minutes later, as Grace Hoepfner redirected a penalty corner pass into the net with 3:05 to go in the frame to make it 1-1.
 
The Crimson responded defensively the remainder of the contest, holding Delaware without a shot attempt over the final three quarters of play.
 
Harvard nearly broke through for the go-ahead score midway through the third quarter, when a shot from Avery Donahue deflected off the post to sophomore Lucy Leel, who found the pad of Gaebel on a rebound chance.
 
But with under 10 minutes to play in the fourth quarter, Harvard would break through with the game-winning goal.
 
On a penalty corner, junior Siofra Murdoch sent a pass back to Broze who cut towards the net after the insert. Broze then wasted no time putting a shot towards goal, and the ball bounced off a Delaware defender into the right corner of the net with 9:49 to play to put Harvard ahead for good.
