Barrie is the most obvious player capable of making a difference. The freshman made 46 saves against Dartmouth to allow the Saints to stay alive despite being outshot nearly two-to-one. Barrie earned ECAC goaltender of the week honors two weeks ago while leading St. Lawrence to comfortable wins over traditional ECAC frontrunners Providence, New Hampshire, and Northeastern.
Harvard will continue to rotate junior Allison Kuusisto and freshman Jessica Ruddock in net throughout the weekend. If Ruddock and Barrie get the starts on Sunday, Harvard would be involved in a duel of freshman goaltenders for the second weekend in a row.
While St. Lawrence might not have any scoring punch at the level of Harvard's Botterill and Shewchuk, the Saints do have their share of national-level talent. Defenseman Isabelle Chartrand and freshman forward Gina Kingsbury where both among the 34-players invited to the Canadian National Team's Evaluation camp. Chartrand was also a teammate of Botterill and Shewchuk's in the 1999 Three Nations Cup.
After Sunday's game, Harvard will be out of action for a whole two weeks before flying out for a pair of games at Minnesota-Duluth. The Crimson will not be playing at home again until January 6th, when St. Lawrence returns to Harvard for a rematch.
