...seconds into the second period. Vaillancourt showed off her skills on her first goal, which came at 6:30 of the first period and gave the team a 2-0 lead. Vaillancourt took a lead pass in stride from co-captain Julie Chu on the left side, used her breakaway speed to accelerate past the defense, and pinpointed a wrister top shelf over goalie Alex Zirbel’s left shoulder. She beat Zirbel again at the 9:56 mark with a lethal slapshot, and completed the trifecta by finishing a rebound down low. Harvard had no trouble dispatching Union...

The referee ruled it a miss, saying it did not cross the goal line...
...rebound, but Prescott managed to corral the ball. Play opened up in the second half as both teams managed to find more offense. Cornell came dangerously close to scoring several times, but each time, Knoche rose to the task. Sophomore Brenna Gulotta shook the Harvard defense loose on a breakaway, but Knoche slid in, kicking the ball away with her foot. Minutes later, the scene repeated itself. This time, Knoche rushed out to deny sophomore midfielder Abbi Horn, ably defending against the attack with her feet. In the final minutes of regulation, Harvard moved Ziomek up from back to midfield...
