No. 5 W. Hockey Beats No. 4 St. Lawrence, Cornell

With Barrie pulled for well over a minute during the final moments of play, St. Lawrence made it interesting, but was unable to capitalize on the barrage of shots it launched against Ruddock. But the rookie netminder held on and brought her team a much-needed victory to keep Harvard in the running for the top slot in the ECAC.

Harvard 3, Cornell 1

The Crimson showed no signs of overlooking its battle with St. Lawrence in its game against Cornell Saturday, easily handling the Big Red, 3-1, at Lynah Rink.

Harvard opened the scoring in the first period and never looked back, carrying a 3-0 lead until the final seconds of the third period and extending its overall and ECAC winning streak to five games, which would become six games after Sunday's win.

The Crimson's game-winning goal came from Botterill. Botterill has been unstoppable during Harvard's streak, scoring two goals in the game to give her 12 goals in the past six games.

With the Crimson holding a 1-0 lead entering the third period, Botterill netted her 11th goal of the season with 13 minutes remaining, beating Big Red goaltender Elizabeth Connelly to give Harvard a 2-0 lead.

Later in the period Botterill added her second goal, assisted by Shewchuk and senior forward Tara Dunn, to make the score 3-0.

The Crimson lost its bid for the shutout when Cornell forward Allyson Simpson scored with 16 seconds left in the game to give Cornell its only goal at 3-1.
