ITHACA, N.Y. -- Melanie Jue and Chelsea Karpenko both had a pair

power play on the day, with Dempsey's tally coming on the power
play.
Karpenko got the Big Red on the board first with a goal in the
first period, but Harvard rallied in the second period to score a
pair and take a 2-1 lead, with the second Crimson goal coming with
1:37 to play in the period. Jue came to the rescue, knotting the
score just 45 seconds later to send the game to the third tied at
two.
In the third, Karpenko scored just 2:55 into the period, making a
nice move to fake out Kessler and slide the puck into the goal to
Kessler's right. Harvard would tie the score 10 minutes later on
Chute's tally, but Jue's wrist shot from the slot gave beat Kessler
and sent the Big Red to the victory.
