The defense tightened up during the kill
Forty seconds later, sophomore Jillian Dempsey received a game misconduct penalty after laying a massive hit on Heather Grant from behind. Suddenly, Harvard was facing five straight minutes of penalty kill with one of its top forwards in the locker room.
“It was tough to lose Dempsey, but I thought we weathered that storm really well,” Stone said. “We made some adjustments, which is a testament to our depth.”
The defense tightened up during the kill, holding Yale scoreless despite a few good looks in front of the net early in the second period. Harvard then got its own
Canada opportunities on offense with a pair of long 5-on-3 advantages.
