Inspired by their win on Saturday, the team came out flying against BC. The game was played at a face-paced tempo, with each team moving up and down the ice rapidly. This style, while exciting for the spectators, can result in havoc for the players. In such an open game, players are bound to commit penalties, and Harvard players are no exceptions.

Despite the influx of penalties, Harvard remained in control of the game, thanks in large part to Bowdoin between the pipes and a strong defensive mindset.

In order to win though, a team needs both offense and defense, and Shewchuk provided the scoring on Sunday. Following up her two point game Saturday, she netted four goals against BC.

Shewchuk has definitely been the offensive powerhouse for Harvard all year. With her five goal performance this weekend, she increased her goal total to 38, surpassing the single season record of 34 set by A.J. Mleczko '97, who is currently training with United States National Hockey Team for the 1998 Olympics.

Shewchuk's season point total is just one point shy of the school season record of 51 (shared by Mleczko and Charlotte Joslin '90). With Shewchuk and sophomore standouts Gerometta and Asano, the team is ensured of a strong offense for the next couple of years.

With these two victories this past weekend, the women's hockey team took a needed step in the right direction. With the playoffs around the corner, the team raised its level of play. As Calagione summed up, "[This weekend] was definitely huge. It was our last weekend home games, and we all wanted to win. Our defense was there and we had a punching style of offense. We were hungry, and it showed."
