...away consecutive shots off of a penalty corner, the Crimson got a rebound opportunity of its own. Late in the first half, freshman Emma Keller sent in a shot that the Bulldog goalie kicked away, only to have rookie Katelin Wahl fire the ball back in.

...outdone by his Catamounts counterpart, Richter contributed some impressive saves of his own. His personal highlight came in the first period, just after Harvard had successfully killed off a penalty. Perched at the right post, Richter went into a full-extension dive to smother a Vermont attempt from the left side.“Kyle was solid,” Donato said. “He made some good saves, he gave us a chance to win the game. He played pretty composed in there.”While Spillane was heroic to the end, the Crimson offense was finally...
