\nLast Time Out: at Harvard
\nThe Midshipmen suffered a 53-26 road defeat against three-time defending national champion Harvard on Oct. 10. The Crimson capitalized on an opening-minute turnover to take immediate control and built a commanding 46-0 lead early in the second half before the Mids found their rhythm.
\n\u00a0
\nNatalie Peugeot<\/a> and Aleksandria Gabbard<\/a> sparked a valiant second-half surge by leading the offense with two tries apiece. Peugeot broke the scoring drought in the 53rd minute by returning a fumble untouched and later added a second score on a breakaway run.
\n\u00a0
\nGabbard mirrored the effort by powering through multiple tackles for both of her tries. Supported by three successful conversions from Mia Young<\/a>, the Mids finished strong to outscore the Crimson 26-24 over the final 40 minutes of action.
