Pucci helps in shutout

Harvard University junior defenseman Josephine Pucci of Pearl River had her third goal of the season and led a strong Crimson defense that blanked Colgate, 4-0, at Bright Hockey Center in Cambridge, MA.

The shutout was Harvard’s second against Colgate (8-16-1, 3-10-1 ECAC) this season, as the Crimson won the first game in the series, 2-0. 

Both teams took a pair of penalties down the stretch but Harvard added another goal before the buzzer as Pucci jostled the puck away from a Colgate skater and fed Lyndsey Fry of Chandler, AZ, who sped down the ice and into the Colgate zone. Fry got the puck back to Pucci on a well-timed pass and all Pucci had to do was redirect the puck into the open net to cap the 4-0 final.  

Harvard (12-6-1, 9-4-1 ECAC) travels to New Haven, CT, on Friday (Jan. 27)  for a 7 p.m., showdown with Ivy rival Yale.  The Bulldogs are struggling at 1-19, with their only win a 3-2 overtime triumph against Union College.
