That would be the last time the Crimson held the lead in game. New Hampshire tied the game, 8-8, with 21:47 remaining in second half and then took the lead on a goal from Keefe.
Early in the first half, the game looked as though it would be a shootout, when the two teams combined for nine goals in the opening 13 minutes.
After New Hampshire took an early 1-0 lead, Harper and Corkery put Harvard on the board with a pair of goals a minute apart and freshman Katie Shaughnessy added another at the ten minute mark to put the Crimson in front 3-1.
The Wildcats came back to the tie the game, 4-4, before Corkery put Harvard ahead 5-4 with a goal just prior to the midway point in the half.
Corkery's goal would be the last either team would score for over 15 minutes, however, as both defenses adjusted to shutdown the early offensive barrage.
Harvard freshman goaltender Nora Guyer recorded 10 saves on the day, while her counterparts for New Hampshire, freshman Danielle Martin and junior Amanda Warren, stopped five and six shots respectively, splitting time in the Wildcat goal.
With 41 seconds remaining in the first half, freshman Jamie Hagerman finally broke the defensive deadlock, scoring to give Harvard a 6-4 lead and complete a strong opening half on a goal assisted by co-captain Jeanne Ficociello.
Harvard wraps up its season this Sunday when it hosts No. 14 Cornell.
