The attitude of everyone seemed to be to get the debacle over with as quickly as possible.

To open the second period, Harvard replaced number one goaltender Jennifer White with fellow freshman Rebecca Margulies. But the switch didn't affect the onrushing Crimson, who added four goals over the course of the stanza, or the Eagles, whose scoring opportunities continued to be an endangered species.

Though the Crimson was now clearly emphasizing its passing game, defenders Julie Sasner, Harvard's co-captain, and Amy Hartung both managed to get the puck past the BC goal-line in the second period. Simmons and Hartung also found the twines, notching their second scores of the game in the second period.

"Both of my goals came from really good passes," Simmons said. "We were really trying to work on our plays out there."

The third period offered more opportunity for the Crimson to refine its game.

Neilson worked on her wrist shot, taking Brita Lind's pass from the corner boards and flicking it into the low twines at 5:11.

To close out the Crimson dozen, first-line forwards Carney and Lind once again worked their reciprocal-tallies-within-a-minute magic, Lind first setting up her linemate at 11:18, and Carney returning the favor 25 seconds later.

The pair had accomplished the same feat in an earlier 11-1 thrashing of B.U.

The night wasn't a total loss for B.C., however, as Eagle Lisa Bonadies foiled White and Margulies' shutout with a crowded-crease goal with just under two minutes to play in the game.
