As soon as the light went on, Ingram was swamped by the entire team in celebration, and Providence walked off the ice having suffered its third loss to Harvard this season.

"We had so many shots, so to have this finally go in is a relief," Ingram said. "Coach Stone singled me out in the locker room [after the third period] and told me to stay in front of the net and get those rebounds."

The Friars continued the punishing defensive style they employed in the previous two games against Harvard and managed to contain the Crimson offense as the game progressed.

"You have to give it to them--they do have some really talented kids, and their goalie kept them in it for a while," Shewchuk said. "You have to do what it takes to win, and if their method of winning is to put the body on and be physical and be dirty, well then that's what they have to do."

Harvard struck first and led 1-0 after Shewchuk scored with two minutes to go in the first period.

Shewchuk took the pass from junior co-captain Jennifer Botterill and swept past several defenders with a series of spectacular moves. She approached the net from the left side and shot a backhander five-hole on Quinlan for her first goal of the night.

The Friars tied it up in the second period on a power play goal by sophomore winger Jenn Butsch, who deflected a puck in front of the net five-hole past Ruddock.
