It may be the season to be jolly, but it wasn't so for the Crimson in Duluth, Minn.
The Harvard women's hockey team was swept this weekend by the Bulldogs, losing, 4-3, on Saturday, and 5-2, yesterday, at the Duluth Entertainment Convention Center.
The No. 5 UMD (13-4-1) sweep concluded a dismal regular season for the No. 2 Crimson (8-5-0) against non-conference opponents. Harvard played four games against teams from the WCHA and lost all of them. The Crimson's other loss this year came at the hands of ECAC-rival, No. 1 Dartmouth.
UMD 5, Harvard 2
The Bulldogs jumped on Harvard early, tallying three times before the halfway mark of the first period.
Sophomore forward Erika Holst scored the game-winning goal for UMD with 9:05 left in the first. Holst received a pass from forward Hanne Sikio and rifled it past Crimson junior goaltender Alison Kuusisto to give the Bulldogs a 3-0 lead.
Sophomore forward Maria Rooth opened the scoring in the game for UMD, beating Kuusisto early for the 1-0 early lead. Holst lit the lamp for the Bulldogs two minutes later, finding the back of net to give UMD a 2-0 advantage.
