...next period, when senior Kati Vaughn accepted a pass from tri-captain Sarah Vaillancourt at 10:13 and launched the puck from long range into the Bobcats net. Harvard out-shot Quinnipiac 19-4 in the first frame and 13-6 in the second. The Crimson was firing on all cylinders—each of Harvard’s three goals and four assists were contributed by different players. “You want to have that balance within your lines,” Stone said.

One option diplomats may seek would be to have the crossings be controlled by a neutral force.
