Prior to Wednesday's match-up, the Eagles hadn't competed in an NCAA tournament game since 1985. In the early eighties, B.C. reached the NCAA tournament in four consecutive seasons (1982-1985), amassing a 2-4 record.
Despite Guarino's impressive statistics, the timeliness of her scoring has been the crucial factor in B.C.'s success.
Guarino has risen to the occasion in each of the Eagles' post-season games. Tallying four goals and two assists for 10 points in three games, Guarino has single-handedly vaulted the Eagles into the second round of the tournament.
If Guarino comes out and scores early like she did against Fairfield, she could pose a serious threat to Harvard's survival in the tournament.
However, Guarino isn't the only threat up front for the Eagles. Sophomore Morgan Page will play alongside Guarino at the forward spot.
Page is second on the team in scoring with 13 goals and seven assists for 33 points, and has hooked up with Guarino all season to bury shots in the opposition's net.
Sophomore forward Meghan Moore will be feeding long passes to both Guarino and Page.
