Harvard did not waste any time going into the final period, putting away a fifth goal in the first two minutes. Sophomore forwards Hillary Crowe and Samantha Reber worked the puck down the ice with a give-and-go, ending with Reber scoring off Crowe’s initial deflected shot.

After yet another Crimson penalty in the 12th minute of the final frame, Dartmouth looked to finally take advantage of the power play.

But junior forward Gina McDonald won the puck at the faceoff and took it down the middle of the ice through the Big Green defense to put away Harvard’s sixth and final goal of the match. The goal was McDonald’s first of the season.

“We had a lot of jump,” Stone said. “Everybody was on their toes. We moved the puck very quickly, we transitioned very quickly, and we had some great opportunities right off the bat, and it caught them off guard, I think. To get up on a team like Dartmouth three goals in the first period is pretty good for us.”

Bellamy ended the match with a total of 26 saves, bringing her to a sum of 92 saves this season.

The senior goaltender has secured three shutouts in just five starts in goal, the fifth highest shutout number in the country.

Bellamy also ranks No.1 in the nation in save percentage at 0.968 and goals against average at 0.60.

Freshman goalie Emerance Maschmeyer previously held the lead for goals against average before the Dartmouth contest.
