Earlier in the period, Clark collected a puck which squirted free along the right wall and curled into the Crimson zone unopposed before firing a shot high to Boe’s left to knot the game at one apiece.

Harvard had taken the first lead of the game just 6:22 earlier as the second period drew to a close.

Ruggiero gathered the puck inside the right circle at the Crimson end before firing the puck cross-ice to the Dartmouth blue line and a waiting sophomore Jenn Raimondi.

After slowing to receive the pass, Raimondi slipped away from a defender with a hard fake and snapped the shot past Capuano to open the scoring.

“On the goal that they scored, that was the second time in the same shift that they got somebody behind us,” Hudak said. “We broke down there a little bit mentally.”

Harvard continued its barrage at the Big Green end, with junior Nicole Corriero and Ruggiero peppering the Dartmouth net with 24 shots between them, with two of latter’s rattling the post.

“You hit posts and you figure the next one’s mine,” said Ruggiero, whose assist extended her point-scoring streak to 14. “I hit a couple early and we had many, many opportunities that just either didn’t bounce our way or we didn’t capitalize on.”

Harvard returns to action on the road Jan. 30-31 against Princeton and Yale.
