W. Hockey Sweeps Niagra

Harvard 5, Niagara 2

Already one loss down on the weekend, Niagara (9-5-1, 5-5-0) seemed to be skating defensively throughout the game, allowing the Crimson to maintain possession both in and out of its offensive zone.

The result was a lopsided contest in which the Crimson outshot Niagara 52-19.

Ingram got the eventual game winner at 9:36 in the second period.

Senior defender Christie MacKinnon split the defense and found Ingram moving forward at center ice. Ingram skated in on goal, moved the puck to her right side and put it through Niagara goalie Tania Pinelli's five-hole.

The Crimson's third goal of the day would be enough to complete the weekend sweep.

From the outset, it appeared that the puck was going to be in the Crimson's possession for most of the day.

Although the Purple Eagles had a couple of chances in the first frame, they opted to dump the puck over the Crimson's blue line, creating little organized offensive build-up. Ruggiero and the rest of the back line were quick to the corners, however, and Niagara's tactics often ended in Harvard possession.
