Harvard’s offense also had a number of opportunities to score, but as the clock wound down it was still a 2-2 game. Pucci then got a hold of the puck with a little over three minutes left in the game and took a slap shot on goal. Big Green goalie Mariel Lacina got the stop, but Ryabkina was there for the rebound and snuck the puck over the line to give Harvard the lead...
