...last-minute upset. With just one minute left in the third period, the Golden Knights held on to a tenuous one-goal advantage. At that juncture, Stone decided to pull Crimson senior goaltender Ali Boe for the extra skater—giving Harvard the 6-5 advantage down the stretch. With 27 seconds left, the Crimson was “just trying to put as much pressure as possible,” as Schroyer described the situation.

...never recovered to maintain any kind of offensive rhythm. The first half was a disaster for the Crimson, who found itself stuck at four points for over seven minutes in the opening frame. Harvard shot 0-for-9 from the field and committed seven turnovers during the stretch, watching Princeton pad its lead to 26 points. “We had no connection with each other,” head coach Kathy Delaney-Smith said. “It just epitomizes inexperience.” It didn’t help that Princeton seemed unable to miss from the opening...
