CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Harvard women's hockey dropped an ECAC contest to the sixth-ranked Quinnipiac Bobcats tonight at the Bright-Landry Hockey Center tonight after an 8-0 final. The Crimson (3-13-1, 1-10-1 ECACH) had a number of quality looks that came up short in the effort.
 

HOW IT HAPPENED

• Harvard welcomed Quinnipiac to the Bright-Landry Hockey Center to begin its first ECAC series of the second half.

• The Bobcats added three more goals to its total in the first period to go into the break with a 4-0 advantage.

• Quinnipiac put one more tally on the board, taking a 6-0 advantage into the second intermission.
• Despite a number of quality looks in the third period – including two breakaway opportunities – the Crimson could not get a tally on the board.
• Quinnipiac skated out of Boston with an 8-0 victory after adding another pair of goals in the final period.
