Dartmouth goaltender Amy Ferguson played well for the Big Green and made several big saves, especially in the third period when the Crimson tried to claw back into the game, including stops on a couple of breakaways.
"We came out flying [in the first], but then had a little bit of a let down," Botterill said. " We should have had many of those rebounds."
The Crimson was outshot 35-23, including a 15-11 margin in the crucial third period.
"We have to work on removing the pressure from the defensive zone," Stone said. "We definitely have to be more poised with the puck."
The Big Green spread its offensive attack with four different players recording goals. Mcollough, Haggard, King, and Bredin all tallied for Dartmouth in the game.
Harvard received goals from Suurkask, Botterill and Shewchuk. Botterill's return was a successful one, with three points in the game. Shewchuk had two points.
However, the star was Suurkask, who either scored or assisted on all of the Crimson's goals.
