Harvard's best scoring chances on the night came midway through the third period when Dartmouth gave Harvard a two-man advantage. The first penalty was a too many men on the ice violation. The second came when Ferguson body-slammed Francisco onto the ice.
"I was hoping [Ferguson] would bobble it a little bit," Francisco said. "But the next thing I know, her glove was in my face and I was on the ice."
Such tactics did not help Ferguson earn any votes for the goaltending spot on the ECAC All-Tournament Team. The honor was ultimately given to Brown's Pam Dreyer.
On the two-man advantage, the Crimson managed some of its highest-quality scoring chances of the day, but to no avail against Ferguson.
"She plays out, and she took away the corners," said Oberting of Ferguson. "I think she does have [Harvard's] number a little bit."
Ferguson kept both Botterill and Shewchuk from tallying on breakways in the first period.
"That top line, to stop them, is just so gratifying," Ferguson said. "I want to shut them down just because."
