Watching is one thing that Tammy Shewchuk will not be doing this weekend.

Princeton and Yale will have to be wary of the combined offensive prowess of Mleczko, Shewchuk and Botterill, the league's top three point leaders.

Yale, however, will not try to fend off Harvard at home empty-handed.

Sophomore forward tandem Lisa Meyers and Jane Resor lead the charge against the Crimson.

Freshman defenseman Angela Ruggiero, who will dart off to Finland following the Princeton game, will not be in the Crimson's arsenal for the Sunday afternoon game. Ruggiero will be on hand for the ECAC playoffs, but will not play against the Bulldogs.

Not only do these two games mark the end of an astonishing regular season, but also the final Ivy League games in the careers of captains Mleczko and Claudia Asano.

"These two games are important because the first team we beat will mean an Ivy League title," Asano said. "Neither one of them is bigger than the other, but they'll both be fun."

Just like any other game, Harvard will need to focus on playing all three periods like a top-ranked hockey team.

"Consistency is important this weekend," Asano said. "We can't have up and down periods. We need to pick up our play and play well for the entire game."

With this combination of the right attitude and great play, Asano believes her Ivy League swan song will be sweet music.

"These games really matter to me," Asano said. "If we weren't as successful as we had been, this would be the end of it all. Part of me is sad about finishing. Still, I'm just excited to finish the regular season and be playing in a situation where every game will be so competitive."

With the ECACs lying dead ahead, Asano may just get her wish.
