St.Lawrence 3, Harvard 2

The Saints used great goaltending and solid defense to hand the Crimson what was its third straight loss on Saturday.

The game-winning goal for St. Lawrence came at the 6:35 mark of the third period.

Saint forward Jessica Wilson broke loose behind the Crimson defense and attacked down the right side. Ruddock moved to cut off the angle but Wilson shot towards the left side of the net and found an opening to make the score 3-2.

Harvard had a chance to tie the game with four seconds left, having a faceoff in the St. Lawrence zone. The Crimson won the face off and Botterill recovered the puck and shot into the traffic in front of the net. The puck slid a few inches wide of the left pole and Harvard fell 3-2.

"We practiced that play all week," Harvard coach Katey Stone said. "We put ourselves in a position to tie and can't be disappointed with our effort."

The Crimson was ahead 2-1 entering the third period, but wasn't able to hold the lead as the Saints scored two unanswered goals to steal the victory.

"We used four lines and short shifts to try to overwhelm them physically, to try and tire them out," St. Lawrence coach Paul Flanagan said. "They're a well-coached and explosive team, and we can't hang with their top two lines offensivley, but we got the break we needed in the third."
