Both Boe and Barrie rose to the occasion last night, each making a number of key saves when the pressure fell on them. Following the contest, Harvard coach Katey Stone had one word to describe the level of goaltending.

“Superb.”

And on the defensive end, Harvard was stifling.

Until the 14-minute mark in the period, the Crimson kept the Saints from having even a single shot on Boe.

St. Lawrence managed to pick up the pace late in the period and into the next, though almost every chance was a long wrister on Boe with no screen in between her and the shooter.

Before the Saints could manage any real opportunities to tie the score, Harvard put another one past Barrie.

With a minute and a half left in the second frame, freshman defenseman Caitlin Cahow—who has stepped up late in the season with injuries to the defensive core—rocketed a slapshot at the goal.

Sophomore Jennifer Raimondi got her stick up in the air and was able to deflect the puck up into the upper right part of the net-extending Harvard’s lead to two goals.

“We struggled in the first period tonight, but now that we won I won’t feel so bad,” Stone said.
