HUPD Chief Says Harvard Yard Encampment is Peaceful, Defends Students’ Right to Protest
The Harvard icewomen, dormant most of this season, exploded for five goals in the final two periods en route to a 5-1 upset of Dartmouth at Bright yesterday.
Crimson goalie Katie Williams, who made the clutch saves, came within 1:02 of her first shutout of the year before Ann Dean put one in for the Big Green.
Faced with furious Dartmouth forechecking, the Harvard defense, led by co-captain Lauren Norton, held the Big Green to a 0-0 standoff in the first period. At 4:36 of the second period, Rosemary Mahoney lofted a soft shot towards Dartmouth goalie Janice Ellis, who caught the puck, bobbled it, and let it trickle into the net.
The goal seemed to give the Crimson offense a renewed sense of vigor. After Dartmouth's Susan McLaughlin had been called for tripping at 14:47, Alex Lightfoot, with three seconds left on the power play, beat Ellis on a slapshot from just inside the blue line.

After the two second-period goals, the Green goalie looked shaky and never quite regained her composure as Harvard continued its intense forechecking into the final period.
Firkins Reed scored on a breakaway at 1:36; then, at 8:23, Norton took a pass in front from Sue Yunick and shoved it past Ellis.
Sara Fischer scored Harvard's final goal on a power play with more than 17 minutes left to play. With a 5-0 lead, the Harvard defense eased, and it cost Williams the shutout. By then, though, the game was out of reach for the BIG Green.
