Harvard 5, Cornell 3
Harvard lost a pair of games at Minnesota-Duluth before the winter break and lost to St. Lawrence on Saturday before breaking the slump against Cornell yesterday.
The Crimson did it by scoring three goals in the final stanza, including Shewchuk's record-breaking goal with five minutes left in the game.
The game-winning goal came from the hand of junior co-captain Jennifer Botterill, who scored her second goal of the game to give Harvard a 4-3 lead.
At the 6:57 mark of the third period, Botterill took a pass from senior defenseman Jamie Notman and moved towards the net from the left side.
Botterill cut across the crease and shot from the backhand, but Cornell goalie Sonya Sandahl deflected the attempt. Botterill recovered the rebound and stuffed it under Sandahl to give Harvard the lead for good.
The Crimson's next goal was a milestone.
