The crowd appealed for a penalty kick, but referee Reta Brown continued to pursue her laissez-faire policy and refused to blow the whistle.
It seemed that Harvard's intensity paid off halfway through the third period. With the game knotted at two, referee Mike Noeth disallowed an apparent goal by sophomore right wing Josh Kerner because the net had come off its moorings moments before the puck crossed the line.
