It may be shopping period for most Harvard students, but there will be no down time for the No. 1 Harvard women's hockey team.
The Crimson returns to conference play with games against two upper-division teams, No. 6 Northeastern and No. 8 Providence, at 2 p.m. tomorrow and Sunday at Bright Hockey Center.
"These are big games and the kids are ready for both of them," Harvard Coach Katey Stone said. "They're looking forward to playing coming out
of exams. We're going to have to scratch and claw this weekend to stay at
the top of the polls."
Harvard (13-2-2, 11-2-2 ECAC) fell to second place during exam period as former No. 2 Brown (12-2-3, 11-1-3) gained a one-point lead over the idle Crimson. Harvard is in a tie for second with No. 6 Dartmouth (13-7-0, 12-4-0) while Northeastern (16-6-0, 11-4-0) is tied for fourth and Providence (15-5-3, 9-4-3) is one point behind the Huskies.
Harvard will have its entire roster available to play this weekend, although
junior winger Tammy Shewchuk and sophomore defenseman Angela Ruggiero have not practiced at Bright this week.
