Women's Hockey Denied Chance To Defend Title

Dartmouth can't say the same. The Big Green lost 5-1 to New Hampshire, a team that Harvard beat twice. In its last meeting against Brown before the ECAC tournament, Dartmouth was humiliated 6-1 by the Bears.

Harvard also managed to compile its solid record despite more player personal disruptions than any other team in the country. The Crimson's 4-2 loss to St. Lawrence, for instance, came while Shewchuk and sophomore center Jen Botterill were out playing for Team Canada.

"Harvard is so supportive of players playing for national programs," Stone said. "I'm proud that through all the distractions we were able to persevere."

Even without the invitation to the AWCHA Tournament, Harvard is still proud of its spectacular season.

"I think a lot of people recognize what a great team we are," Shewchuk said. "I don't think we need any national championship to let ourselves know that we're a great team."
