McDonald’s second goal of the season would not be enough though, as Northeastern’s Hayley Scamurra tied the game, setting up Daniels’ game-winner.

Daniels finished the game with seven shots and is now second on the team with six goals. She has tallied five goals in the team’s last seven games and scored the game-winner against St. Lawrence as well as a big goal in the tie with Cornell earlier this season.

Initially, Harvard’s skaters were supposed to show how far they’ve come in the absence of key players the team lost to graduation, injury, and the Olympic squad in 2013 on a bigger stage. The Crimson’s three members of the Olympic team were even supposed to be in attendance at Fenway. That did not happen, but Harvard still showed how it has accrued the longest active unbeaten streak in the ECAC.

The win also extended the Crimson’s home unbeaten streak to 10 games. It has not lost at Bright-Landry Hockey Center this season. Harvard will see Northeastern again in exactly a month when the two teams play in the Women’s Beanpot at Boston College.

“We’re very resilient; we’ve faced a lot of adversity on and off the ice this year,” Crowell said. “We certainly weathered the storm tonight and got the win.”
