The Terriers continued to mount the offensive pressure, outshooting Harvard, 12-8, in the second frame, but the Crimson had its own share of close looks. Sophomore center Mary Parker broke through BU’s defensive line and had a one-on-one breakaway with Sperry, but the puck—and Parker—slid just past the net.

In the final minutes of the second period, Harvard came up with its biggest stop of the night after Elizabeth Parker and D’Oench were whistled for minor penalties 37 seconds apart. Harvard killed the five-on-three advantage to keep the score tied at one apiece heading into the third period.

BU did find success on the power play in the final frame of regulation. Senior center Louise Warren capitalized on a man advantage at 8:44 with D’Oench in the box for charging.

Down for the first time all evening, the Crimson drew even quickly. D’Oench netted her team-leading 14th goal of the season at 12:21, putting back a rebound from Reber. Eight minutes of fast-paced play later, the teams were headed into overtime.

As BU had done all night, the team outshot the Crimson in the extra frame, but Harvard found the back of the net when it counted, recording a win in the Beanpot consolation matchup for the second straight year.

It was a dramatic victory, one the Crimson will savor as it heads into its final weekend of home regular season conference play.

“I think that shows a lot about our team,” Reber said. “I think we’re really excited to come out with that win.”
