Women's Hockey Battles to Stalemate with Brown

Despite failing to score during the man-advantage, Harvard evened up the score at the 9:13 mark thanks to sophomore Dani Krzyszczyk. After recovering possession in the neutral zone as Brown attempted to mount an attack, the forward exchanged a series of short passes with Zarzecki during a 2-on-1 before sending a backhand past Elvin.

Daniels put the Crimson up just over five minutes later with a rocket from the right faceoff circle. After a series of Harvard shots at goal, the puck ricocheted to the Southwick, Mass. native, who fired it home for the Crimson’s second tally of the night.

Though Daniel has been a star for the Crimson lately––with four goals in the team’s last two conference matchups––the junior insists a lot of the credit for her success falls to her teammates.

“I’m nothing without my team,” Daniels said. “I can’t do anything without them…. I’m lucky that it is me getting the goals but it could be anyone. Hopefully we get more of those coming up.”

The Bears, however, refused to back down. With just under two minutes left, rookie blueline Leah Olson fired a shot from the left faceoff circle that bounced off the pads of Laing. Classmate Cara Najjar was there to collect the puck and poke it into the mesh.

After Daniels recovered the lead for Harvard, the Brown offense sprung to life, particularly after a tripping penalty by sophomore Karly Heffernan during which co-captain Michelle Picard was forced into a diving save to prevent a Brown player from tucking in a loose rebound.

The Bears’ determination paid off, as Conway tallied her fourth goal of the season, destining the game to overtime.
