Those hopes for revenge were dashed when Dartmouth freshman phenom Carly Haggard took a pass from center Kim McCullough and netted the Big Green's fourth goal, the game-winner, at 12:52 in the third period.

In the game's opening minutes, the contest did not appear that it would be as close as it was, as Dartmouth went on top 2-0 early in the first period. But after that point, Dartmouth slowly relinguished the lead to Harvard. The Crimson received goals from sophomore forward Jen Botterill and sophomore defenseman Angela Ruggiero in the first and second periods, respectively, to tie the game at two.

Harvard then went ahead with just over three minutes expired in the third period when senior center Courtney Smith delivered a pass to Shewchuk, who sent the puck past Dartmouth goalie Amy Ferguson.

From that point forward, however, the Dartmouth defense got stingier and cut down on the number of Harvard scoring chances. Though Ferguson surrendered rebounds after several of her saves, the Crimson forwards were prevented from taking advantage of any second-chance opportunities.

"Their defense was really tight," Shewchuk said. "They did a good job of keeping us away from any rebounds."

The Big Green evened the score at three goals apiece on a goal by defenseman Kristin Romberg with ten minutes left in the game.

Less than three minutes later, with momentum on Dartmouth's side, Haggard, last week's ECAC Player of the Week, lit the lamp for the deciding goal.

The Big Green would add an empty-netter in the game's final minute, as the Crimson launched a failed last-ditch effort to tie the game.
