"We encountered the same situation last year against UNH," sophomore defender Angela Ruggerio said. "We pulled it off last year. There was such a positive effort in the locker room. We had no doubt we were going to score."

As the Crimson piled on the pressure, the Big Green received one good chance to clear the puck, but ECAC Player of the Year, sophomore center Jen Botterill retrieved the puck and it worked up to MacKinnon at the point, who fired a slapshot.

Ingram, the Crimson extra attacker, fought madly through two defenders for the rebound, and sent the puck into the side of the net.

With the clock winding down, the puck bounced to Shewchuk. She sent the puck back to MacKinnon for a second blast. This time Ingram, parked in front of the net, directed the puck into the upper corner, where Ferguson didn't have a chance.

"It's always controlled chaos," Stone said. "We pulled the goaltender and had Kalen pop out there. I was most impressed with Chrstie MacKinnon. A senior, very poised, she rips two shots, and bang, the freshman puts it in."

In overtime, despite being outshot 9-2, Harvard had more good scoring opportunities. Most of them were the direct result of Ruggerio.

With 13:34 left, Ruggerio was left alone on the blue line. She wound up and fired the hardest shot of the night into the high corner. But Ferguson's glove was right there, and the game went on.

Then five minutes later, Ruggerio drew two defenders at Dartmouth blue line and sent a backhand pass to Ingram skating towards the net all alone. But Ferguson stepped up and forced Ingram's backhand wide.
