Three minutes later, Ingram tallied for the second time in the game, this time off a pass from junior co-captain Jennifer Botterill. Ingram took the pass and fired a rocket from the blueline that sneaked past Cronin, who was screened by the Crimson players in front of the net.

Harvard recorded 23 shots on goal in the second frame, while Maine only had five.

Harvard did not score again until early in the third, when Catlin also tallied for the second time in the game.

Catlin split the defenders in front of the net and fired high over Cronin's left shoulder, giving Harvard the 5-1 lead.

In the final period, the Crimson shot on net 23 times, while the Black Bears only managed nine shots.

On the offensive end, Botterill's streak of three consecutive games with a hat trick came to an end, and it was only the second time this season that Botterill has been held without a goal. She finished with three assists.

Cronin made 62 saves for the Black Bears, while freshman goaltender Jessica Ruddock played her second consecutive solid game, making 18 saves in 19 chances.
