A sense of humor is exactly what they would need.
The Terriers won the face-off and registered a shot early on Crimson netminder Allison Kuusisto, who started in place of Crystal Springer.
Kuusisto saved all 12 of the Terriers shots, mostly redirecting errant wrist shots to her defensemen.
After B.U.'s initial success, the Crimson controlled the pace of play.
Harvard was sluggish early, toying with the Terriers in the offensive zone.
Botterill had a good chance in the first minute, skating unguarded within two feet of the Terrier crease. Instead of lighting the lamp, the sophomore decided to dump it across to line-mate Angie Francisco, who batted at the puck but missed the shot.
Forward Sally Maloney also missed an open net minutes later, when she botched a rebound that ricocheted off the boards behind the Terrier goal.
