The Crimson knew it would have to play its best hockey of the year to match the Big Green, and so did junior co-captain Jennifer Botterill.
"We are feeling very confident after the big win Tuesday," Botterill said.
All three lines skated well in the Beanpot final and Harvard's big players made the big plays. Senior forward Kiirsten Suurkask scored her first goal in 17 games to tie the Beanpot final 3-3, and Botterill pocketed the overtime winner.
"We lost a close one earlier in the year and we are just looking for a great game this time around," Botterill said. "Dartmouth always gets up for it when they play us and we do to."
But the Crimson is now a different team from the one that lost by a goal last November. At the time, Harvard had only skated together as a team for four days. Due to commitments with Team Canada, Botterill and Shewchuk were just joining the lineup.
