Another factor for the Crimson may be fatigue. For yet another week, Harvard will play three games in four days, including Tuesday's Beanpot final against Northeastern.
"This is what you play for," said Botterill, "so our players are in pretty good game shape."
McManama concurs, citing the fact that the circumstances don't permit the Crimson to feel tired now.

"At this point in the season, we're not worried about fatigue," she said. "We are just so psyched."
For Harvard, pretty much everybody is back and ready to play. For example, Botterill returned from a groin injury on Tuesday. Only junior center Kiirsten Suurkask, will miss this weekend's games to play for the Canadian Under-22 Team.
