W. Hockey Advances to Beanpot Final with 8-1 B.C. Blowout

"She was in the right place at the right time," was all Stone would say.

Despite Harvard's impressive statistical performance, Stone still saw plenty of room for improvement.

"I think we showed our fatigue a bit today," Stone said. "We need to come in here next weekend and be a little more juiced up than we were today."

The Eagles scored their lone goal of the game at 12:55 of the second on the powerplay. Junior winger Missy Barsz deflected a goal line shot off junior goaltender Alison Kuusisto and into the net. Sophomore defenseman Sarah Engwall and freshman center Kaitlin McGrath assisted on the play.

"We could have done a lot of things better," Ingram said. "We were controlling the puck down low and then getting caught. One little turnover and they were on their way."

It was Kuusisto's first start in a non-exhibition game since December 17 against No. 2 Minnesota-Duluth. Kuusisto made three saves in two periods of play and improves her record on the season to 5-4-0.

Freshman goaltender Emily Smith replaced Kuusisto to start the third. It was Smith's third career appearance for Harvard between the pipes.

The Crimson defeated B.C. 13-1 earlier in the season and beat the Eagles by similar scores of 9-0 and 7-2 last season.
