D’Oench’s first goal of the match was scored when the forward backhanded a strong pass from freshman defender Robyn White past the Union goalie.

“It was a really great look from Robyn,” D’Oench said. “It was the type of composure that you don't always see early in someone's freshman year.”

In D’Oench’s second successful shot of the period, junior forward Samantha Reber supplied the assist, giving D’Oench the opportunity to power a rebounded puck into the net.   This quick move rounded out the score for the Crimson at 3-0.

“We were really flying in the second, and that was reflected on the scoreboard,” D’Oench said.

This commanding performance on the ice came after Harvard’s loss to RPI Friday evening, the Crimson’s first loss of the season. It came in tough fashion, as Harvard fell to the Engineers, 2-1.

“We talked a lot about improving our starts,” Crowe said. “I think making that a priority and focus was key. Also setting the pace right away allowed us to maintain the game.”

These changes ultimately proved successful for Harvard squad, as it earned the win and boosted its season record to 3-1. The Crimson will look to build on its momentum in its next game, at St. Lawrence Nov. 8.
