Harvard 4, UNH 1
Hours after getting off a plane back from her commitments with Team Canada, Botterill scored a hat trick, and Shewchuk assisted on all four Crimson goals as Harvard rolled to a 4-1 victory over UNH (14-13-0, 10-8-0).
"[Botterill] had something to prove today," Stone said. "She didn't miss a step coming back."
It took less than a minute of hockey for the star pair to make their presence felt.
Just 34 seconds into the contest, Shewchuk skated free toward the Wildcat right faceoff circle.
After drawing the UNH defense over to her, she then fired a perfect pass to Botterill, who was alone right at the opposite post. Wildcats goaltender Jennifer Huggon appeared to make a diving save on Botterill's shot, but the puck trickled under her stick and just crossed the goal line.
