In his last painting, the justly famous The Dream (1910), his own velvet studio couch is set down in the middle of a jungle. Lying on it is a naked woman, her arm outstretched.

Boe blocked a shot by UNH’s Craig with her right arm, but the puck bounced on her shoulder, and as she brought her arm down, it fell behind her and into the net.Both of the other two tallies against Harvard came with Boe on the ground or out of position after having already stopped two or three chances with some quick reactions...
