It was a night to forget for the Crimson, as Colgate found the back of the net four times to hand Harvard its 15th loss of the season, the first time Harvard has suffered that many losses since the 1997-1998 season.

“Really disappointing evening for us, there’s no question about it.” Stone said. “I thought we were going to be ready to go…. For whatever reason we were slow getting out of the gate today and didn’t play the kind of defense we needed to play.”

It took just over two minutes for the Crimson to fall behind, as Raiders forward Megan Sullivan poked the puck in from close range past Larcom to open up the scoring before rookie Anonda Hoppner doubled the lead 12 minutes later off a rebound.

Larcom’s night would only last until just over the second minute of the second frame as defender Kaila Pinkney’s blast from the blue line made its way into the goal, forcing Stone to replace Larcom with Tissenbaum.

After being held to just four shots on goal in the second frame, the Crimson managed to blast 15 at Colgate netminder Julia Vandyk in the third period. Once again, though, it was the Raiders who found the back of the net on one of just two shots in the final frame.

Forward Shae Labbe picked up the puck on a break away down the right wing and sent a blast into Tissenbaum’s glove-side corner to put the final touches on Colgate’s comprehensive victory.
