With the match nodded at one goal apiece entering the final minutes,
the Bears went down a man following an interference call on defenseman Cara Gardner at 12:50.
Thirty seconds into the man-advantage, Shewchuk fired a shot on net that was stopped by Bears goalie Ali Brewer.
The rebound, however, caromed right to Botterill, who found the back of
the net, putting the Crimson ahead for good.
"Tammy took a great shot," Botterill said. "Brewer made the pad save, and the rebound came right onto my stick."
Earlier in the contest, the Brown defense, which allows an average of just 1.25 goals per game, was dealt a painful blow when junior blue-liner Tara Mounsey was forced to exit the game with a knee injury.
Prior in the week, Mounsey, together with Botterill and Harvard sophomore defenseman Angela Ruggiero, was named a finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award, which honors the most distinguished performer in women's hockey.
