CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (12/5/14) - No. 10 Harvard earned a 3-0 win this evening over Princeton in women's hockey at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center.
The Crimson scored a goal in each period with Brianna Laing, sister of former Princeton women's hockey player Denna Laing '14, earned the shutout victory as Harvard's netminder. She made 27 saves while junior Kimberly Newell stopped 28 shots on the opposite end.
Harvard converted one its only power-play opportunity of the game, with 30 seconds left in the first period. Princeton attempted to break up the man-advantage pass but Sydney Daniels settled the puck, circled into the high slot and went five hole on Newell.
Briana Mastrel made it 2-0 at 2:36 of the second period when she went glove side from the slot on a pass from the right circle from Karly Heffernan.
Laing earned her shutout in the second and third periods, stopping all 23 Princeton shots as the Tigers outshot the Crimson 23-17 in the final 40 minutes.
Mary Parker expanded the lead to 3-0 at 16:48 of the third period with a redirect of a Michelle Picard shot with Marissa Gedman earning the secondary assist.
Princeton drops to 6-7-1 overall in facing its fifth straight ranked opponent, and is 4-4 in the league. Harvard improves to 5-2-2 overall and 4-1-1 in league play.
