From then on, however, the Crimson was mired in its own zone as it tried to stave off the relentless UNH attack.

But despite the aggressive UNH offense, Harvard did an excellent job of staying out of the penalty box, with only one foul the entire game.

Still, UNH seemed to get stronger as the game went on, scoring three unanswered goals in the second stanza and one in the third to put the game out of Harvard's reach.

In addition to their aggressiveness on the ice, UNH brought a rowdy cheering section to the contest, which celebrated the first UNH goal by hurling a fish to center ice.

Still, none of this affected Harvard's skaters.

"I block it out when I play," sophomore forward Colleen Malek said.

Though the final score wasn't what they had hoped, the seniors left the ice satisfied with their final effort.

"I'll take a game like this any day--we played well," Villiotte said. "But it hasn't quite hit me that it's all over yet." NEW HAMPSHIRE, 6-1 at Rochester Arena Harvard  1  0  0  --  1 New Hampshire  2  3  1  --  6
