Football Defeats Penn; Finishes Campaign Undefeated on Road

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard football put its undefeated road record on the line and emerged with a convincing 37-14 at Penn on Saturday. The Crimson improved to 6-3 overall and 4-2 in the Ivy League, while the Quakers, who entered the day unbeaten at home, fell to 7-2 and 4-2 in the Ivy.

How it Happened

  • Quarterback Charlie Dean threw three touchdown passes in the first half, which helped the Crimson take a 24-7 lead into locker room at halftime.
  • Dean connected with Kaedyn Odermann on a perfectly placed ball to the back right corner of the endzone with 4:53 left in the first quarter to get the visitors on the scoreboard. The 18-yard TD was Odermann's first of the season.
  • Penn leveled the score with 1:00 to go in the first, but Dean broke the tie with 9:46 remaining in the second quarter when he found Joe Young on the right side. The senior wideout broke a tackle and fought his way into the endzone. Similar to Odermann, the 29-yard TD reception was his first of 2022.
  • Jonah Lipel connected on a 42-yard field goal with 2:23 left before halftime, putting Harvard ahead, 17-7.
  • Less than two minutes later, Dean found Tyler Neville for a 14-yard touchdown with 27 seconds on the clock, pushing the Crimson a 24-7 halftime lead. For Neville, the scoring grab was his third of the campaign.
  • When the action resumed, Dean wasted no time recording his fourth TD pass of the afternoon. The signal caller found Haven Montefalco for a six-yard score just 1:45 into the second half.
  • Penn answered with a TD nearly three minutes later, but Lipel was successful from 25 yards in the third quarter and added a 23-yarder in the fourth to provide the final margin.

  • Dean set career highs with four touchdowns (tied), 29 completions and 316 yards.
  • Aidan Borguet rushed 20 times for 117 yards. It marked the first time in his career that he hit the 100-yard plateau in three straight games.
  • Borguet has 1,120 rushing yards this season to move up from No. 11 to No. 6 on the Harvard single-season rushing list.
  • The four passing touchdowns are tied for the most in a single game this season, matching the performance vs. Brown.
