Harvard outshot the Tigers 34-11 for the afternoon.
“I felt like we really dominated that game,” Ingram said. “There wasn’t much play in our zone. They did get two [goals] on us—that was sort of rare—but they were just a few little mistakes that we can totally clean up.”
Van Reesema said the first goal was caused by the team throwing away the puck and tiring, while she said the Crimson left the defensive zone too early prior to a turnover on the second.
The first Princeton score was only the second power play goal surrendered by Harvard this year.
Despite the third period, Harvard has surrendered just 14 goals in 15 game—fewer per game than anyone in the nation. The only time the Crimson has allowed more than two goals in a game was in its 4-3 loss to No. 3 Minnesota Nov. 17.
Harvard 6, Yale 0
Yale has never beaten Harvard in freshman forward Jennifer Raimondi’s lifetime.
Raimondi provided the only scoring necessary in Harvard’s 36th straight victory over Yale when she converted a give-and-go with junior linemate Mina Pell for her seventh goal of the year.
Ahead just 1-0 after a period, the Crimson began to put the game out of reach only 12 seconds after the intermission when it won a faceoff and Ingram converted a three-on-two.
Harvard went up 3-0 when its third line turned a sloppy Yale line change into a four-on-none. Freshman Carrie Schroyer provided the finish.
Harvard added three power play goals—two from Chu and another from Ingram—for the 6-0 final.
The game extended a 13-game winless streak for the Elis against Division I opponents. Only one of their three victories on the season has come against a Division I opponent.
Ingram’s post-game comments were still respectful.
“They’re getting better, moving in the right direction,” Ingram said. “It wasn’t an easy game at all. We had to work hard for the goals. It’s tough to judge the game by the score.”
