To complete the cycle, the Crimson's first line scored on the next shift. Francisco found herself behind the net with plenty of time to find Botterill directly in front of her.

Botterill beat Terrier goalie Megan Connor for her second goal of the game and stretched the lead to 6-0. With a comfortable lead, Stone called off the Crimson onslaught.

"The B.U. kids were working so hard and they're doing the best they can--we don't want to go out there and make some sort of statement and embarrass anyone," Stone said. "We wanted to move the puck and we felt we could work on some things without having to score all the time."

Instead of shooting, the Crimson began a period of possession, in which they spent much of the remaining 18 minutes packed in the Terrier zone, moving the puck from the corners to the point and back down again along the boards.

"I think scoring is great and we can do that, but we really wanted to work the puck up and down the ice, forward and back, deep in the corners then back to the D[efense], finding as many seams as possible," Stone said.

The Crimson had no trouble finding the passing lanes. After a checking penalty on a Terrier defenseman at 12:42, Harvard kept the puck in the B.U. zone until 15:29, when it was cleared down ice to a waiting Kuusisto.

At the beginning of the third period, The Crimson defense combined for the Crimson's final goal. Off a clearing pass from Kuusisto, defenseman Angela Ruggiero found defenseman Melissa Milbert between the circles. Milbert turned on net and chipped in.

Milbert's goal received extra cheers from the Harvard bench. The senior has been plagued by knee injuries throughout her career, and underwent her sixth surgery as a Crimson player over Christmas.
