The Harvard defense, anchored by Stickles, Cullinane and D'Souza, and complimented by freshmen blueliners Francie Walton and Beth Messmore, had an uneventful game against Colby. It would have been nice if they too had been able to redeem themselves for their weak outing the previous night. Luckily--or unluckily--they will have that opportunity Wednesday night against ECAC powerhouse New Hampshire in Durham, N.H.
