allowed 3.33 goals a game last month.
"Against Northeastern it's important to make sure we shoot a lot on their goalie," said freshman defenseman Jamie Hagerman, the ECAC's top rookie scorer from the blueline. "We scored four goals on her last time and other teams have been able to beat her since then. We just need to get the puck in deep and run our offense from there."
On the other end of the ice, Northeastern will look to captain Hilary Witt (19 g, 17 a), a perennial nominee for the Kazmaier Award for national
player of the year, for offensive firepower. The Crimson held Witt to two assists and no goals in January and the Huskies, who were never able to establish possession in the Harvard zone, relied on shots in transition to stay in the game.
"Everything started in the defensive zone when we beat Northeastern last
time," Hagerman said. "We need to contain their forwards and win the
little battles on defense and in the neutral zone."
