Harvard went up 3-0 in the first period and never looked back. Botterill scored the first goal at the 8:27 mark, driving the puck past sprawling Maine goaltender Amanda Cronin as Crimson players crowded the net.

The Crimson made it 2-0 just 33 seconds later, as third-line freshman Lauren McAuliffe beat Cronin five-hole. Then five minutes later on the power play, Botterill and Ingram worked the puck around to Shewchuk for Harvard's final goal of the period.

After a lackluster second period in which Maine freshman Rebecca Ouellet reduced the Crimson's lead to 3-1, Harvard put the game away in the third. Immediately following a Maine penalty kill, Shewchuk put her own rebound past Cronin to up the lead to 4-1.

Senior winger Kiirsten Suurkask scored a minute later with a top-shelf wrister. Then on her next shift, she assisted on Harvard's sixth goal, which was credited to Catlin.

Botterill converted a rebound off an Ingram shot for her second goal of the afternoon. Soon after freshman Karen Droog--Maine's leading scorer--lit the lamp, sophomore defender Pam Van Reesema found the net for the game's final goal.

Harvard outshot Maine 49-19, a step down from the Crimson's 67-19 shooting advantage in the teams' previous meeting.
