In a 5-on-3 opportunity, the Bears’ goaltender was called into action again, with two excellent saves denying Harvard the opening goal.At the other end, a Crimson penalty at 9:15 provided Brown with a chance to open the scoring. The Crimson defense held firm to kill the power play, with junior goaltender Christina Kessler finally grabbing the puck following a melee...
