Providence winger Darlene Stephenson and defenseman Melanie Ruzzi turned the defensive lapse into a 2-on-1 on Crimson freshman goaltender Jessica Ruddock.
Ruzzi passed the puck off to Stephenson to shoot the one-timer, but the pass deflected off Harvard sophomore defenseman Kalen Ingram and through the five-hole of Ruddock to give the Friars the 3-2 lead.
But the momentary advantage proved to be Providence's last gasp, as
Botterill then decided to take the game over.
With less than three minutes left in the period, Botterill took a pass from senior forward Tammy Shewchuk and flew down the left side.
Upon reaching the left circle, Botterill--who had already scored the
Crimsons first goal of the game--fired a cannon shot that Providence goaltender Crystal Nicholas appeared to stop, but the puck slid past her and into the net to tie the game at 3-3.
