After Allen’s goal, Dartmouth forward Brooke Ahbe scored a power play goal to regain the lead for the home team.

Despite holding the Big Green scoreless for almost two and a half stanzas, Maschmeyer was not even in goal for Dartmouth’s fourth goal. In the final minute, Allen added an empty-net finish to earn her second goal of the game and ice the victory.

The score, which arrived 20 seconds after Maschmeyer substituted off the ice, came on the heels of two power plays for the Big Green. The first led to the go-ahead goal; the second, the result of a roughing penalty on Crowe, forced a Crimson squad that desperately needed a score to play two minutes of defense.

The defeat dropped Harvard to third in the ECAC standings behind Quinnipiac and Clarkson.

“I think [Dartmouth] just capitalized on the few opportunities we gave them,” Fry said. “There weren’t many, but they took advantage.”
