On the game-winning goal, Botterill and senior Tammy Shewchuk passed the puck cleanly back and forth to split the Big Green defense. When Botterill crossed the blue line and found a clear look at the net, she fired the puck without hesitation past Ferguson, whose stellar effort had stymied...
"Our team has great moves, but I think sometimes we just need to shoot the puck and get a quick shot off," Botterill said. "That's what I tried to do on that one--just take her by surprise."
With 2:26 left in regulation, Botterill rocketed the puck over the left shoulder of Dartmouth goaltender Amy Ferguson to propel Harvard (17-7-0, 16-3-0 ECAC) to a 3-2 victory over the Big Green (19-2-1, 16-2-1).
The goal was Botterill's nation-best sixth game-winner of the season. Dartmouth nearly succeeded in keeping the clear-cut Patty Kazmaier favorite off the scoreboard for a full 60 minutes, but came up just short.
"I think that, particularly in the third period, we were on Botterill pretty tight, but she got loose," said Dartmouth Coach Judy Parish Oberting. "And when she's got a great look at the net, she's more than likely going to hit the back of it."
