The Big Red opened the scoring at 4:54 of the second period. After Harvard turned the puck over in the neutral zone, Cornell's Izzy Daniel broke in on a 2-on-1 and fed Kaitlyn Chan for a one-timer to make it 1-0. Cornell extended its lead just over five minutes later when Daniel fired a shot past Reed from the slot.

The Crimson pulled Reed for the extra attacker with just over two minutes remaining, but were unable to score.
