Harvard couldn’t get on Barrie early as in Friday’s game, which enabled her to get back to her old self. She stopped all 10 Harvard shots in the first period.

“In the first game, we got on her right away,” junior defenseman and captain Jamie Hagerman said. “The longer we took to score [on Saturday], the more confidence she got.”

Harvard senior goalie Alison Kuusisto was equally steady in the first period, saving all seven St. Lawrence shots.

The Saints opened the scoring 45 seconds in to the second period. Sophomore forward and recent cut from the Canadian Olympic squad Gina Kingsbury lobbed a soft backhander that Kuusisto couldn’t handle, giving St. Lawrence a 1-0 lead.

There were a lot of penalties in the second period. Harvard took four penalties including two on Hagerman, while St. Lawrence took three.

Midway through the second period, both teams traded two-man advantages, but neither was able to capitalize. The Saints didn’t even manage a shot during their five-on-three advantage and only fired three during the whole period. Harvard fired 11 shots in the period, but again could not solve Rachel Barrie.

With two minutes remaining in the second, Barrie robbed Corriero at point-blank range on a wrist shot that seemed destined for the back of the net but instead found its way in to Barrie’s glove.

As Barrie’s former Team Ontario teammate, Corriero was familiar with her handiwork.

“We knew that if [Barrie] let in five goals yesterday, today they were going to be hard to come by,” Corriero said.

The Saints doubled their lead two minutes in to the third period on junior forward Chera Marshall’s goal. Marshall’s goal was one of three shots St. Lawrence managed in the period; Harvard would take nine.

Harvard hopes that it can bring its potent offense to first-place Brown on Saturday.

“We can’t just be a little bit of a threat,” Stone said. “We’re dangerous. Brown’s gotta have their hands full.”

Harvard 5, St. Lawrence 3

Harvard had a game plan against Barrie going into Friday’s match against St. Lawrence.

“We thought, ‘She’s an awesome goalie, let’s just pepper her with shots,’” Ingram said. “We anticipated scoring second chance goals.”
