“We got ourselves in a little bit of a hole in the second period and got ourselves out of it,” Stone said. “But then we had tremendous momentum in the third period and in overtime.”

Scoring has been an issue for the Crimson of late. Though averaging just a shade over three and a half goals per game, Harvard has managed to surpass that number just twice in its last 11 contests. The Crimson outshot its opponents 37-17, Friday.

“I personally believe we need a greater sense of urgency getting to the net,” Stone said. “We get too fancy in those situations and we just got to ram it right down the middle.”

Several freshmen saw an increased role in the matchup, as Harvard switched things up with several lineup changes. Freshman forward Jessica Harvey saw more time on the power play, while her classmate Dylanne Crugnale was moved to the first line alongside Dempsey and junior forward Lyndsey Fry.

“I thought everybody that played really stepped up,” Stone said.
