The Harvard Series
Saturday's matchup is the 45th between the two programs, as the Crimson hold a 26-16-2 lead over the Quakers. Penn has won seven up in Cambridge with the last coming in 2015, a 2-1 overtime decision.
 
Last Time We Met
When these two programs met last season, the Quakers came close to upsetting No. 15 Harvard but fell short of a comeback, 2-1. The Crimson edged out Penn in shot attempts, 12-9, and had a 9-6 advantage in shots on target. Harvard scored its first goal early in the game and scored the second after halftime. The comeback attempt started in the fourth when Courney Kenah scored a penalty corner, but that was the only time the Quakers found the back of the cage.

Punched Our Ticket
The Quakers played then-No. 18 Cornell this past Friday falling in a narrow defeat, 2-0. Though the Red and Blue didn't get the outcome they hoped for, they did punch their ticket into the inaugural Ivy League tournament with a 4-1 record. No. 11 Harvard and No. 17 Cornell have also secured their spots in the postseason, while all three teams still have a chance to host the tournament with two league matchups remaining entering the weekend.

Stat Leaders
Kuzyk leads the Quakers in goals with 12 through 13 games. She also leads the team in points (19), shots (51) and shots on goal (30). Junior Courtney Kenah has been efficient on getting the ball out to her teammates with a team-high seven assists so far. Kuzyk's goals are good for third in the Ivy League, while Kenah's seven helpers are currently in the fourth among all players. Senior goalie Frederique Wollaert has 72 saves on the season with a goals-against average of 1.87 and a .735 save percentage, ranking among the top in the league.
 
What's Left Of The Regular Season
After the trip to Cambridge, the Quakers wrap up the regular season slate next weekend. They'll host Brown at Ellen Vagelos Field on Saturday, October 28 for Senior Day, before making the short trek down 95 to Newark on Sunday for a bout with Delaware. The Ivy League tournament kicks off the following weekend with the semifinals on Friday, November 3 and the final on Sunday, November 5.
