The Crimson, led by its special teams unit and by Botterill, exploded for five goals in the third period and blew away the overmatched Huskies 6-3 on Friday night.
"We got some attitude in the third period," Stone said. "When you come up against a tough goaltender like that, I think we broke her down a little bit in the third period."
Senior forward Tara Dunn scored the game-winning goal for the
Crimson with three minutes left in the game.
With the score tied 3-3, Botterill was called for a checking penalty that left Harvard shorthanded. One minute and 40 seconds into the penalty, Francisco found Dunn streaking down the right side for a shorthanded breakaway.
Dunn crashed the net on Silva, who managed to get her left pad on the puck. Silva, however, wasn't able to cover up the puck before it went into the net, giving Harvard a 4-3 lead.
Before then, the Crimson had experienced some trouble overcoming
Silva, as Harvard entered the third period trailing 2-1.
