Led by tenacious defense, the Tigers stifled the Crimson top line, holding junior co-captain Jennifer Botterill without a goal for only the third time this season and allowing only one goal, to senior forward Tammy Shewchuk, in the entire game.
The star of the game was Shewchuk, who recorded a hat trick and assisted on the Crimson's other goal, scored by Botterill.
Shewchuk was the only scorer of the first period, giving Harvard a 1-0 lead off assists from Botterill and senior defenseman Jamie Notman only 44 seconds into the game.
"That is one of the biggest challenges," Botterill said. "In the past a team may not have been as successful, but you have to prepare for every game. In our league the competition is so good you never know who will come out on top and play a great game...
"It would be great to win the Beanpot," Botterill said. "It is such a tradition in Boston and a lot of fun to play."
