The most spectacular save came with just under six minutes left in regulation. Dartmouth winger Carly Haggard, the ECAC Rookie of the Year, broke in all alone down the right side of the ice. She curved in and tried to beat Springer five-hole, but she fell back and stopped the puck short of the goal line.

The save allowed the Crimson to continue with its comeback which began 4:31 into the third period.

Taking a pass from Botterill, Shewchuk rushed into the Big Green zone, and did the rest of the work herself. She skated around two defenders--faking one of them to the ground--and then wristed the puck past Dartmouth freshman goalie Amy Ferguson.

"The third period we played a good brand of Harvard hockey," Shewchuk said. "My goal was a result of good forechecking. The girl in front of me happened to slide, and I just took a shot and saw the opening."

After the Shewchuk goal, the Crimson came to life and dominated the rest of the third period. Harvard rarely allowing the puck to leave the Dartmouth end, ultimately outshooting the Big Green 8-6.

"Even when we were down 2-0 we kept coming back," Harvard Coach Katey Stone said. "I'm so proud of the way we played. We blanketed them in the third period and a large part of the overtime."

With 40 seconds left, the Crimson set up a face-off in the neutral zone and called timeout to get its top line into the game. When the puck was finally dropped, the Crimson attack rolled over the Dartmouth defense.
