"They're a bunch of jerks," White said. "They're really obnoxious."

Princeton's main weapon in this grudge match will be its offense. Leading scorers Mollie Marcoux, Sue Finney and Shari Wolkon will keep the pressure on Crimson goalie White, who presently leads the Ivy League in goaltending.

Shooters

"Princeton has a lot of good shooters," Tri-Captain Julia Trotman said. "Jen [White] will have to be on the ball."

The Crimson will also be counting on leading scorer Sandra Whyte and the second line to produce goals on offense.

Aside from playing a strong physical game, Harvard will have to play a sharp mental game.

"The emotional level will be very high," Dooley said. "Princeton will be very emotional because they're mostly veterans. Our freshmen are making a tremendous adjustment from high school to this kind of emotional play. It's brand new. Ice hockey is a very emotional game and its a very individualistic type of emotional. It's a learning process."

"We've turned up the intensity a lot which is something we haven't done since Dartmouth," Tri-Captain Brita Lind said.

A win today would give the Crimson the boost it needs going into the Ivy League tournament. The tournament, which determines what team will go on to the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference championships, will be held next week at Harvard.
