CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Junior Victoria Bach's goal with 1:46 remaining in overtime lifted the Boston University women's ice hockey team to a 4-3 victory over Harvard on Tuesday night at Bright-Landry Hockey Center.

THE RUNDOWN

Final Score: Boston University 4, Harvard 3 (OT) Records: BU (8-5-1, 6-5-0 WHEA), Harvard (1-6-0, 1-4-0 ECAC) Location: Bright-Landry Hockey Center - Cambridge, Mass.

TURNING POINT

- Bach's 10th goal of the season came after some terrific work in the defensive zone. Junior Savannah Newton pushed the puck ahead to classmate Nina Rodgers, who won a battle along the boards before getting the puck to Bach. The Milton, Ontario, native skated up the left wing and ripped the puck into the top corner for the winner.

GOAL-BY-GOAL

- Playing against her former team, graduate student Mary Parker put BU ahead, 1-0, at the 5:39 mark of the first period. Bach won an offensive-zone faceoff right back to Rodgers. She immediately sent the puck towards goal and Parker deftly redirected it past Brianna Laing (36 saves).

- Harvard evened the score 5:47 into the second stanza, but Parker notched her second goal of the game with 5:37 remaining in the period. Newton sent a pass off the boards in front of the BU bench that landed on Bach's stick. She skated into the left side of the Harvard zone and fed Parker at the right post.

- Junior Rebecca Leslie extended the lead to 3-1 at the 7:35 mark of the third period with her fourth goal of the season. Newton and freshman Deziray De Sousa had the assists on what proved to be the game-winner.

- The Crimson got a goal back with 3:45 remaining in regulation and then tied the game with less than a minute to play.
