Shewchuk Sets Milestone in W. Hockey Sweep

"It means more that we won the game," Shewchuk said. "Every win is towards a larger goal that we have this season, and every win is important. The goals that come along with that I just see as a part that helps our team win and that's about it."

Shewchuk credited Botterill, who is also a member of the Canadian National Team, and Mleczko in helping her reach the 129-goal mark.

"When you have great linemates to play with, those things are going to happen," Shewchuk said. "Playing with Jen the last few years has definitely helped me."

Mleczko, Shewchuk and Botterill formed one of the most prolific scoring lines in the history of collegiate hockey in 1999. The trio scored a combined 125 goals on the season to lead Harvard to a 33-1-0 record and a national championship.

"We had a very special team that year," Mleczko said. "It was an amazing year which we'll all look back on fondly. We'll always carry special friendships from that team. It's always so interesting when we play Canada, because [Botterill and Shewchuk] are our opponents, but we'll always be friends off the ice."

Harvard 10, Yale 2

Yale may have split against Princeton earlier in the season, but the Elis' effort yesterday was a far cry from what the Tigers brought to the ice a day earlier.

The Bulldog defenders, clearly dwarfed by the Harvard forwards, immediately resorted to tactics such as kneeling on co-captain Angie Francisco after she just missed stuffing the puck into the net in the opening minute.
