"Tammy took a great shot," Botterill said. "Brewer made the pad save, and the rebound came right onto my stick."
Prior in the week, Mounsey, together with Botterill and Harvard sophomore defenseman Angela Ruggiero, was named a finalist for the Patty Kazmaier Award, which honors the most distinguished performer in women's hockey.
Before Botterill's goal snapped a 1-1 tie, the two teams had failed to take advantage of a combined seven power plays. Both teams committed three penalties in the first period alone, yet the opening twenty minutes saw no scoring.
Ruggiero initiated the scoring play, unleashing one of her blistering trademark slapshots from the top of the right circle. The puck bounced off the pad of Brewer and found a perfectly positioned Botterill in front of the net who flicked it into the goal.
"[The second goal] was very similar to the first," Botterill said. "Ruggiero rushed it down and took an incredibly powerful slapshot and Brewer again made a pad save. It was a really hard rebound, but I was in the right place at the right time."
