Kegley's goal was Wisconsin28th goal of the season. While Harvard was playing its season opener, the Badgers were playing their seventh game in three weeks.
"We put forth a great effort," said Harvard Head Coach Katey Stone. "Even though they had a few more games under their belt, it could hardly be noticed out there."
Wisconsin opened the scoring in the first, just after Hagerman received a holding penalty at 15:19.
Twenty-four seconds later, Badger defenseman Kerry Weiland took advantage of a huge pile-up in front of Kuusisto and squeezed one into the net for a 1-0 lead.
In the third period, with Wisconsin up 2-0, Harvard went to the attack.
At 11:40, sophomore forward Kalen Ingram broke loose from the Badger defense and approached from the left side. With two other teammates flying down the middle, Ingram faked the pass, which drew Wisconsin junior goalie Jackie MacMillan away from the left post, and went five-hole on her, slicing the Wisconsin lead to 2-1.
However, this was all the scoring the Crimson would muster. Later in the third, seeking the game-tying goal, Harvard pulled the goalie to gain the man advantage.
