W. Hockey Earns NCAA Berth After Advancing to ECAC Final

The third period was dominated by the Crimson, beginning with Shewchuk's goal at 8:13.

Shewchuk skated in on Barrie from the left side, setting up between the circles and blasting a slapshot that powerfully ricocheted off Barrie's pad and into the net to increase the lead to 5-1.

"I just came down the ice and had Jen streaking down the wing and defense didn't know what to do as far as who to take," Shewchuk said. "[All-ECAC defenseman Isabelle Chartrand] is a big girl--she plays with me on Team Canada so she knows what she's doing--but I think she screened the goalie a little bit. I just wanted to shoot the puck low and hopefully get it through her pads, and I did."

Francisco added a goal at 11:27 with the Crimson on the power play, one-timing the puck off a pass from Botterill past Barrie's pads to make the score 6-1. It was the first and only power play opportunity of the game for Harvard.

Botterill then scored the Crimson's final goal of the day, setting up in front of the net and batting the puck out of mid-air over Barrie's shoulder to account for the final score of 7-1.
