The Crimson controlled the game from the start, outshooting the Dutchwomen, 12-3, in the first period.

Freshman forward Miye D'Oench struck first for Harvard just over eight minutes into the game. D'Oench collected a rebound from teammate Mary Parker and banked the puck off Lundberg's backside with a quick tap from behind the goal line.

With less than four minutes left in the first, sophomore forward Samantha Reber put the Crimson up two with a wrist shot that clanged off the post and into the back of the net. Reber stole the puck in the neutral zone and carried it past the opposing blueline for the unassisted mark.

The third period saw the first NCAA goal for freshman defender Abigail Harris, who snapped a quick shot from the faceoff circle between two Union defenders after carrying the puck into the offensive zone. Freshman third-string goaltender Molly Tissenbaum also made waves for the Crimson in the third period, making a couple key stops to preserve the shutout while Stone rested co-captain starter Laura Bellamy for the final frame.

"It's awesome when we're able to get everybody out on the ice in a game like this," Fry said. "It's so great to just roll the lines and have everybody playing. It makes it so much more fun as a team."

Romatoski made it 9-0 with less than six minutes left. By the final horn, Harvard had outshot the Dutchwomen, 42-13, and registered its fifth shutout of the season.

As she nears the midway point of her final NCAA regular season, Dempsey is pleased with the attitude and effort of her squad.

"We want to be the hardest-working team in the country. We don't want anybody to ever outwork us or outhustle us," Dempsey said. "That's huge because it doesn't take any talent or skill for that kind of play [tonight]; it's all about effort. The energy today was great."
