The Terrier's blistering offense is rounded out by freshman forward Angela Jamieson--who has seven goals on the year--and senior forward Jaclyn Mele. Mele has scored five goals this season, and her 10 assists lead the conference.
If No.20 Harvard plans on winning tomorrow, the Crimson defense, lead by senior goalkeeper Anya Cowan, will have to find a way to shut down the BU scoring machine.
Cowan's acrobatic goaltending late in Wednesday night's game against Northeastern was a major reason for the Crimson's 3-2 win, and Cowan will need to shine just as brightly against the Terriers.
If Harvard's defense can keep the game close, the offense will have an excellent chance to steal the game for the Crimson.
Although the Terrier's goaltending tandem of senior Noreen Flanagan and sophomore Susan Harrington has allowed a conference low 22 goals in 14 games, neither has been seriously tested.
BU has out-shot its opponents 283-117 this season and its iron curtain defense has been nearly impenetrable. In its 2-1 victory over New Hampshire, the Terriers allowed only three shots on goal.
However, if the Crimson offense can use its speed to confuse BU's defenders, tri-captain Dominique Kalil and junior forward Kate Nagle stand a good chance of putting a couple of goals into the back of the Terriers' net.
