One of Harvard’s best chances of the night came off a pass up the boards that landed perfectly on the stick of the sophomore forward Gina McDonald. But the puck was sent harmlessly into the well-positioned goaltender, Corinne Boyles, and the scoreboard remained the same.

Of the Crimson’s 33 shots on goal, 13 came in the 16 minutes Harvard played in man-up situations.

Only one power-play shot—a Dempsey put-back after the original shot by sophomore defender Marissa Gedman clanged off the boards— actually found the back of the net. The goal, which came in the last seven seconds of the first of Harvard’s four third-period power plays, put the Crimson back in striking distance.

But Harvard was not able to recover or improve on its power play, and it finished the game one-for-eight on its power-play opportunities. The Eagles, on the other hand, went two-for-three.

The contest was a rematch of last year’s second-week Beanpot matchup between Harvard and BC. But, this year, the two teams met in the consolation round, rather than the championship.

“[Playing in a consolation match] shouldn’t be a factor,” Pucci said. “BC is a ranked opponent. We should be ready to go for a team like this.”
