CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A goal scored halfway through the second period broke the tie and lifted Harvard to a 2-1 victory over Dartmouth at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center on Tuesday evening.

“I thought tonight's game was fairly evenly matched,” head coach Laura Schuler said. “We continue to make positive strides towards growing as a team. I was proud of our efforts and thought our players made positive in-game adjustments, which led to some really good scoring chances. But unfortunately, we couldn't find the back of the net a second time.”

Senior Eleni Tebano scored Dartmouth's (5-13-0, 3-9-0) goal five minutes into the first period. Sophomore Alyssa Baker and senior Emma Korbs also ended the night with a point by assisting on the tally. In net, sophomore Christie Honor had 29 saves.

Harvard (2-13-2, 2-8-2) broke through early, getting on the board 2:26 into the first period. The Crimson only got to the enjoy that one-goal lead for a little over two minutes, as Tebano's fourth tally of the season – a wrister to the left of Brianna Laing in net – at 5:01 tied the score. That was Baker's fifth assist in the last five games, while Korbs picked up her first point of the second half of the season.

Honor had two big saves to start the second to keep the game tied at one-all for the time being. She was not so lucky at 10:51 when Kaitlin Tse gave the lead back to Harvard with her power-play goal, which was scored with just 15 second remaining with the extra player.

A minute into the third, sophomore Tess Bracken – who had had a number of chances in the second period – fired from the point, but Laing went into a split to catch the puck and make the save. With under a minute to play, the puck, which was behind Harvard's net, flipped over the crossbar and landed just off the goal line. The Big Green tried to knock it in, but Laing was able to recover the puck and keep the game from going to overtime.

Harvard had a 31-25 shot advantage and went 1-for-3 on the power play while holding Dartmouth to 0-for-2.

The Big Green will be on the road for the next two games, heading to Yale and Brown over the weekend.
