period. Facing the Huskies on the power play, Botterill stole the puck and
found Shewchuk, who had slid behind the Huskies defense.
Shewchuk attacked down the right side, and flew past Silva, who had moved to cut off the angle. Shewchuk shot low under Silva to tie the game at 1-1.
Northeastern regained the lead 90 seconds later, again on the power play, when forward Beth Claggett took the puck and wrapped it around the net and under Ruddock to make the score 2-1.
That would be the Huskies last goal until the final minute of the game.
For the game, Harvard outshot the Huskies 39-24, but the big advantage came in the third period, when the Crimson shot 20 times on net compared to only 10 attempts by Northeastern.
The Crimson went 2-for-4 on the power play, while the Huskies converted on just 2-of-8 opportunities.
Ruddock picked up the win for Harvard after making 21 saves.
