The collisions were too much for Van Beusekom, who was pulled from the game after Sweet’s goal. Junior Sarah Ahlquist held the fort for the remainder of the period, but was subject to similar pressure in the third.

Princeton freshman defenseman Eliza Golden lost the puck to the side of her own net, accidentally sending it by the skates of an unaware Ahlquist. Pell poked the puck into the goal before sliding into the goal, sending Ahlquist a nice Harvard welcome.

Pell’s goal opened the floodgates for Harvard, who scored twice more before Princeton’s Jessica Fedderly ended Kuusisto’s shutout bid with a breakaway powerplay goal with a minute remaining.

Kat Sweet responded with a final Crimson goal on the powerplay with five seconds remaining.

“We were all over them,” Ingram said. “We handled the puck cleanly in the defensive zone and we were breaking out very well.”

The Tigers looked totally bewildered in the third period, giving up the puck repeatedly in the neutral zone and allowing 17 shots.

The Crimson will need a similar effort at Princeton next weekend.

“They’re gonna be raring to go,” Ingram said. “Things were going our way [this time], we can’t expect the same kind of outcome next time.”

Stone isn’t ruling out further Harvard domination.

“[We need the same] aggresiveness on offense, relentless forechecking, tenacious defense. It could end up [the same way],” Stone said. “We could be in for some exciting March Mandess around here.”

Harvard 8, Yale 2

The Crimson’s 8-2 drubbing of the hated Elis was a fine display of Crimson offensive firepower.

Corriero scored four times and tallied one assist, while Ingram recorded four assists of her own. Sweet added a pair of goals and an assist.

Corriero’s natural hat trick came in the first period, scoring three goals in a row after Crum opened the scoring a minute into the game.

Corriero would add her final goal midway through the second.
