Junior attack Tara Schoen kept Harvard in the game for the first 13 minutes of the matchup, and her natural hat trick kept Dartmouth from increasing their four-goal advantage until halfway through the first period. However, the Big Green’s Jen Pittman won 23 of 32 faceoffs, including seven of eight at the end of the first half. Those extra possessions were the X-factor in the final minutes and allowed Dartmouth to close out the half on a 5-1 run, ending the period with a score of 14-5. The Crimson...
