Although Harvard was ahead 2-1 entering the final frame, the lead could have been much greater if not for the Saints' freshman goaltender Rachel Barrie.
In the first period, the Crimson recorded 16 shots on net, compared to only four for St. Lawrence, but still trailed 1-0. This was due to the efforts of Barrie.
Throughout the first period, Harvard continually assaulted the net with a barrage of shots, only to be denied by Barrie's solid play. Barrie allowed many rebounds, only to stop the Crimson in its attempts to shoot them into the net.
Barrie did allow two goals, but one was on the power play and the other on a short-handed breakaway.
Botterill scored with the man-advantage early in the second off a pass from Francisco, who saw Botterill sitting in front of the net. Botterill took the pass and shot the puck under Barrie to tie game at 1-1.
"It was a beautiful pass that allowed me to make a good play," Botterill said. "I was right in the open and she managed to find me."
Shewchuk tallied nine minutes later with St. Lawrence on the power play. Botterill stole the puck and raced down the left side as Shewchuk flew down the right wing.
