“Ali Boe played great,” Stone said. “She didn’t see a lot of shots at times—there was a lot of traffic in front of her—but she was very sticky when the puck came to her. There weren’t multiple shots and so she answered the bell as well.”

In the second period, Harvard managed to keep the momentum on its side by responding to Dartmouth’s goals and resultant raucous crowd with its own tallies.

After the Big Green’s Tiffany Hagge swept in to the crease and put the puck past Boe to knot the score at 2-2 at 8:35 of the second period, Harvard grabbed the lead back a minute and a half later. Tri-captain Julie Chu received the puck at the top of the offensive zone and a quick slap shot on net managed to trickle through the legs of Dartmouth’s Kate Lane.

Later in the period, Hagge retied the game by scoring with just over a minute and appearing to give the Big Green the momentum heading into the last intermission. But with 58 seconds left, Corriero took the puck on net and managed to wrap it around Lane to take the lead right back.

“Being able to respond so quickly makes a big difference in how you’re building your confidence in the game as a whole because you’re not thinking, ‘Oh my gosh,’” Corriero said. “The span where you’re actually tied is not that long, and you’re not playing with that need to answer back. We didn’t give them a lot of time to build momentum after tying the game.”

“It certainly takes away your momentum, you get up thinking you’re going to be fine, maybe you’ve got a go-ahead here, and boom: they come back and score quickly. That’s a trait of a good team,” Hudak said.

Now Harvard turns its attention from ECAC play to the Beanpot, where it will seek to capture its seventh straight title over the next two weeks.
