Thought-provoking stat of the day 3: Yale has beaten the Cantabs 11 consecutive times, and holds a 14-1 series advantage. The only Ivy team which Harvard has a series edge on is Cornell. The cagers are 9-2 against the Rig Red.

Women's ice hockey Coach John Dooley had Wednesday night's game against the University of Connection videotaped. Unfortunately, the camera broke midway through the third period, and one of the Crimson's nine goals was not recorded. The scorer of that goal was none other than Dooley's daughter, Christine.
But who ever liked home movies, anyway?

Harvard's scoring explosion against the Huskies pushed the ice women ahead in the goals for/goals against category. The Cantabs have now tallied 74 times in 18 games, as compared to their opponents' 69 tallies. Through nine Ivy League contests, they have outscored the opposition, 28-25.
Freshman Julie Sasner's four-goal, two-assist performance against UConn was the best individual scoring show of the year for Harvard. Both Karen Carney and Kelly Laundry had three-goal games earlier in the season, and Pam DiRubio turned in four assists one night, but Sasner's six points stand alone.
In fact, they tie the single-game scoring record set by former players Kathy Carroll and Dinne Hurley in 1963-84. Sasner, who currently has a total of 20 goals on the year, needs only three more to tie the season mark for goals scored, also held by both Carroll and Hurley.

Crimson netminder continues to lead the regular Ivy starters in goals-against average. Her 2.77 mark is almost half a goal better than Simone Feinhandler's 3.26. Feinhandler splits the net minding duties for Princeton with Sue Gouchoe, who leads the league with a 1.50 g.a.a., but has only played in two games.
Kimmel's progress during the season is reflected in her save percentage. After six games it stood at 766, after 12, .802; now, after 18, it has reached 826. And over the span of those last six games, her save percentage is an impressive. 875.

Massachusetts natives account for 55 percent of Harvard's goals, with contributions from Liz Ward (13), Laundry (10), Carney (8), Dinny Starr (4), Genic Simmons (4), Pam DiRubio (1), and Linda Runyon (1).
Tri-Captain Landry, now second on the squad in scoring with 29 points (behind Sasner's 31), leads the Crimson in assists with 19. She and Starr, another tri-captain, have been the squad's most consistent scorers, each notching at least one point in all but three contests
