HANOVER, N.H.--Nothing cures the hangover of a tough loss than spending the evening at B.C.
The No. 5 Harvard women's hockey team crushed Boston College (2-5-0, 1-5-0 ECAC), 13-1, last night at Kelley Rink a day after suffering a tough, 5-4 loss at No. 1 Dartmouth (7-0-0, 7-0-0).
The game was over almost before it began as junior winger Jen Botterill scored the first of her two goals 1:35 into the first period as part of a 48 shot barrage on Eagle netminder Amy Coletta. Sophomore defenseman Pam Van Reesma put the Crimson (2-3-0, 1-5-0) into double digits at 9:13 of the second period.
Junior Jaclyn Kryzak put the only blemish on the Crimson's ledger, scoring at 14:37 of the first period.
No. 1 Dartmouth 5, No. 5 Harvard 4
The 5-4 Dartmouth win was the Big Green's fourth straight over Harvard, a streak that dates back to last year--and a streak that kept Harvard out of the AWCHA Frozen Four.
The win further cemented Dartmouth's top ranking.
