Another spot in the Beanpot women’s hockey championship game hung in the balance, as Harvard and Northeastern skated through an overtime session tied at 3-3.
In the decisive shootout, lifetime Pearl River resident Josephine Pucci, an established and well-experienced player even before attending Harvard, was the fourth shooter for the Crimson after each team had scored one goal, keeping the deadlock intact.
