It was a heartbreaking loss for Harvard, who played better than it had all season in the first half.
After Dartmouth opened the scoring with a pair of goals just over a minute apart, Crimson co-captain Alli Harper and freshman Katie Shaughnessy tallied to square the game, 2-2.
Then with Dartmouth once again leading, 4-3, sophomore Lizzy Frisbie scored on a penalty shot to start the Crimson comeback.
Co-captain Jeanne Ficociello set up the next goal with a steal, and junior Megan Austin finished the play off a perfect feed from fellow junior Lauren Corkery.
Two minutes later, Harper battled away from the net with Dartmouth sophomore goalie Sarah Hughes after Hughes came to grab a loose ball.
Harper won the fight for the ground ball, circled behind the net, and dished to sophomore Heather Gotha, who one-timed it past Hughes.
Just 25 seconds later, Corkery scored to put the Crimson ahead, 7-4, after Harper and freshman Katie Shaughnessy stripped the ball from a Dartmouth defender.
