"We didn't have any bounces go our way," sophomore winger Tammy Shewchuk had said.
Against Brown, however, Lady Luck dealt the Crimson a significantly better hand. On a number of occasions, the puck bounced precisely Harvard's way, and two of those times, Botterill made sure the Crimson capitalized.
"We were very happy with how the game went," said Botterill. "It was a solid group effort. We are really starting to peak now."
The victory provided a stellar end to a perfect week for the Crimson.
Just four days earlier, Harvard captured this year's Beanpot Championship with an exhilarating 4-3 overtime triumph over Northeastern.
Botterill was the hero for the Crimson in that game as well, providing the game-winning score and being named Tournament MVP.
On Saturday, however, Harvard did not need extra time to pull out the win.
