Harvard held Princeton's high-scoring trio of Andrea Kilbourne and Annamarie and Nikola Holmes in check. The Tigers' only goal came from forward Melissa Deland late in the third, after the Crimson had already scored seven goals.
Harvard's extended man-advantage began 19 seconds into the final period thanks to a major penalty for boarding against Annamarie Holmes. That put Holmes, who is second amongst all defensemen in the conference in scoring behind Harvard's Angela Ruggiero, in the penalty box for five minutes.
Before the scoring outburst, however, it was the defense that stifled Princeton. The Tigers took 21 shots, but Kilbourne and the Holmes sisters could not produce any quality scoring sequences.
Despite the prolific scoring of Kilbourne and the Holmes sisters, however, Princeton has seen very little production from the rest of the squad.
The Holmes sisters and Kilbourne have combined for 18 of the team's 26 goals this season, and outside of those three players, there isn't much depth. The Crimson should be able to capitalize on that weakness.
