“I want us to play 60 great minutes of hockey, but we didn’t today,” said Harvard coach Katey Stone. “I’d like us to get some momentum right off the bat.”

The turn of the tide came 12 minutes into the second period when the Crimson once again notched the score while playing with a one-man advantage on the ice.

The goal was not on a power play situation, but rather on a stroke of luck after Saints forward Whitney Carbone was nailed in the leg while blocking a shot.

While Carbone limped off the ice, Harvard took advantage and continued the pressure, leading to a rebound that freshman forward Liza Solley picked up and shot into the back of the net for the score.

Three big saves by sophomore Ali Boe in goal for the Crimson also sparked Harvard’s turn around in the period, the last one on a dive back across the net to stuff the St. Lawrence assault.

From then on, the Crimson neutralized the Saints’ forecheck and kept the pressure on throughout the third and overtime periods.

Prior to this weekend’s series, Flanagan had stated that he felt the key to beating Harvard’s depth was to keep the quick Crimson forwards in front of the defense and in their own zone.

“At the beginning, we got a little rattled by their pressure,” Chu said. “The great thing is that we kind of chipped away at it and figured it out a little bit at a time. Once we settled in, we got a little more poised with the puck and I thought we were a lot more successful.”

In the opening 12 minutes of play, Harvard was called for icing five times, unable to retain possession of the puck past the midline of the ice and into their offensive zone.

But as the game went on, the momentum gradually shifted the other way, as the Crimson flung shot after shot at the Barrie.

“[Harvard] adapted,” Flanagan said. “They started springing the high forward and trying to get behind our defense and that gets our defense back off the line and neutralizes that forecheck a little bit.”

Barrie made 43 saves in the loss, while Boe posted 20 at the back for the Crimson.
