ONE BIG TAKEAWAY
Quinnipiac sure made the most of their opportunity to play in the Frozen Fenway series.
The venerable ballpark wasn't too big of a stage for the Bobcats, who displayed what has made them one of the top teams in the country this season.
In an even-played first period, the Bobcats ended up setting the tone with a shorthanded goal. That was just the start of it as Quinnipiac took control with a dominating second period as it outshot Harvard, 19-4, in the stanza.
And even when Harvard responded with a goal just 1:27 into the third period from Shannon Hollands, the Bobcats answered immediately with a tally 48 seconds later.
Quinnipiac is a buzzsaw at the moment in the ECAC, and unfortunately for Harvard, it didn't have a choice but to run straight into the Bobcats.
STARS OF THE GAME
-- Nina Steigauf provided the highlight-reel goal for Quinnipiac as she stuck with the baseball theme and batted in an airborne pass from Jess Schryver to give the Bobcats a 2-0 lead with 4:58 left in the second period.
-- Madison Chantler delivered the most timely goal of the game for Quinnipiac. The freshman unleashed a wrister into the back of the net early in the third period after Harvard had pulled within a goal.
-- Alex Pellicci stood on her head in net for Harvard for a majority of the contest as there seemed there wasn't a player on Quinnipiac that she robbed of scoring. The sophomore netminder finished with 33 saves.
UP NEXT
