After Sandahl saved a shot from Crimson sophomore forward Kalen Ingram, Shewchuk, who was set up on the left side, retrieved the rebound and shot a wrister beneath Sandahl to put the Crimson up 5-3.
The goal was Shewcuk's second point of the game.
"I feel a little bit of relief," Shewchuk said. "These past few games that's all I've been hearing about, and it's nice to finally get it over with."
Shewchuk played for Harvard when Mleczko set the mark, and was on the ice when her former teammate set the record.
"I felt so awesome for her," Shewchuck said. "Hopefully I'll be here when somebody breaks mine."
Cornell opened the scoring in the game when forward Erica Olson stole the puck and went on a breakaway against Crimson freshman goalie Jessica Ruddock. Olson drew Ruddock to the right side and shot to the left into the wide open net to give Cornell the 1-0 lead.
Harvard answered early in the second period when Botterill took a pass from Shewchuk and beat Sandahl to tie the game at 1-1.
