HARVARD 3, BROWN 0

Harvard got off to a quick start against the Bears on Friday (1-3-0, 1-3-0) and never looked back.

Less than 10 minutes into the first period, forward Kalley Armstrong found the back of the net, registering her first goal of the season.

“We played really well offensively,” Bellamy said. “We didn’t give up many shots, but we also took a lot of shots.”

The Crimson sustained pressure right from the start of the second period, keeping possession of the puck on Brown’s side of the ice for the first five minutes. Harvard’s top line converted less than three minutes into the period, when Dempsey found the back of the net, giving Harvard a 2-0 lead.

On the other end of the ice, Bellamy did not see much action, as the Bears only registered five shots on goal all night. The senior has had the best start of her career with the Crimson so far this season, recording shutouts in her first two matchups.

One of the night’s few threats on Harvard’s own end of the ice came early when Brown freshman Emma Pearson’s shot ricocheted off the right goalpost.

“Our defense is playing really well, not letting a lot of shots through,” Fry said. “That’s a [big] reason [for our success].”

“Defensively, we are just shutting people down,” Demspey added.

Senior defender Kelsey Romatoski tacked on another goal for the Crimson halfway through the second period, when she slid the puck past the Bears’ goaltender Katie Jamieson.

The third period passed uneventfully, as the Harvard defense allowed only one shot on goal.

On the night, the Crimson outshot Brown, 38-5.
