Fifty-three minutes into the game, Tigers' forward Kelly Sosa launched a dangerous shot on goal. Gunther was ready, however, and tapped the ball over the back of the net, preventing a Princeton rebound.
"We have a great goaltender in Cheryl Gunther," Wheaton said. "The one time she was tested, she came up with a great save."
Besides this and a few other shots, Gunther barely had to break a sweat. She effortlessly stopped six shots on goal, notching her second consecutive shutout and her sixth this season. Gunther ranks first in the Ivy League in goal against average and in save percentage.
Moore, who stepped in at the front line with junior forward Ashley Mattison and sophomore forward Caitlin Costello, continued to make her presence felt on the field.
As regulation play wound down, Moore took a header from inside the box that barely went wide of the net.
The Crimson continued to smother Princeton during the final minutes of regulation play, as it barely allowed Princeton to leave it's defensive zone.
The Tigers were finally tamed only six minutes into overtime play, as Stewart's bullet hit the back of the net to clinch the win for Harvard.
