Hell hath no fury like the wrath of the Harvard women's hockey team scorned.

The Crimson, which was denied the Beanpot title by Northeastern on Valentine's Day, unleashed the brunt of its fury on a hapless Yale team, beating the Elis, 9-2, last night at Bright Hockey Center.

The win improved Harvard's record to 14-6-1 overall, 7-0-1 Ivy, while Yale dropped to 4-9-1, 0-8 Ivy.

"We came off a really bad loss [Tuesday] night, so we were really pumped up for tonight," junior Martina Albright said.

"They're back on track," Harvard Coach John Dooley said.

Harvard scored the first of four power-play goals at 7:41 in the first period when Tri-Captain Julia Trotman pushed in a shot sent in by freshman Bev Stickles.

"When you take a lot of dumb penalties, you can't expect to challenge a strong team like Harvard," Yale Coach Vic Russo said.

Hat Trick

Junior Char Joslin, who last year registered a hat trick against Yale, tallied her 24th point of the season at the end of the first period. She glided across the middle, knocking the puck past goaltender Captain Tiff Bingham to give Harvard a 2-0 lead.

Yale thought it was going to with-stand the Crimson's frenzied attack when it scored at the 1:10 mark of the second period to narrow the score to 2-1. The Elis' leading scorer Heather Gold, who was camped out in front of the Harvard net, flicked the puck past Harvard goaltender Jen White.

Wolfram Howls

The Crimson picked up right where it left off two minutes later. Senior Catherine Wolfram made a sensational tip-in, just lifting a pass from junior defender Nina Simonds above Bingham's outstretched glove.

"Catherine made the major league goal of the night," Dooley said.

Tri-Captain Brita Lind scored off a feed from freshman Sandra Whyte during Harvard's second power play opportunity. Whyte tallied an unassisted goal of her own, and Stickles took advantage of another Yale penalty to make the score 6-1.

Harvard and Yale both replaced their starting goalies at the beginning of the third period. The tactic proved to be a failure for the Elis when its sub, freshman Maureen Magauran, was whistled for slashing.
