HARVARD 3, CLARKSON 3

While emotions were very positive after Saturday’s win over the Saints, the Crimson left unsatisfied with its last weekend on the road after a 2-2 tie against Clarkson on Friday.

Coming off of a shoot-out win in the Beanpot over Northeastern, Harvard knew what it was in for heading to Cheel Arena to take on the Golden Knights on Friday afternoon, as Clarkson had just tied Cornell—a team that beat the Crimson 3-0 earlier in the season.

“We’re a little bit disappointed with the tie against Clarkson,” Dempsey said.

Harvard was down twice on Friday, but it fought back both times.

The most critical part of the game for the Crimson came after the Golden Knights’ Melissa Waldie’s goal just 1:52 into the third period put Clarkson up 3-2. Harvard was able to keep up the pressure, and Dempsey scored two minutes later to tie the game.

The Golden Knights struck first, when Hailey Wood scored on a power play, putting Clarkson up with 2:18 to go in the first period.

Dempsey would retaliate 10:14 into the second period. Two minutes later, freshman Elizabeth Parker scored to briefly put the Crimson up, 2-1, 12:31 into the second period.

This lead was lost when Jamie Lee Rattray scored 13 minutes into the second period. Despite outshooting the Golden Knights, 19-4, in the second frame, Harvard only outscored Clarkson by one in the period, and the two teams finished the second period tied at two goals apiece.

The Crimson’s inability to capitalize on its shot advantage proved costly, when Waldie was able to score in a big moment in the third period, not long before Dempsey scored the game-tying goal.

“We played a pretty strong game,” Chute said, though she did echo Dempsey’s disappointment with the inability to pick up a win.

Dempsey said she believes that the team’s three straight overtime games are giving it momentum.

Heading into a Beanpot final matchup tomorrow night with Boston College, who beat Harvard, 6-2, earlier in the year, the Crimson certainly does not seem afraid.

“We can fight back, so don’t count us out,” Dempsey said.

“Playing in overtime will be great preparation for Tuesday,” Chute added.
