The Crimson's 5-1 victory over the Bulldogs at the Yale "Whale" on Saturday mercifully brought the 1999-2000 season to an end for Yale (6-22-1, 2-21-1), which finished the season with five points in the conference for 12th place in the ECAC standings.

The sophomore tandem of center Jen Botterill and defenseman Angela Ruggiero combined for three goals in the first two periods. Botterill's score 6:44 into the game, which was assisted by Ruggiero and Ingram, was the only score of the opening frame.

Botterill returned the favor by assisting on a Ruggiero goal to make it 2-0 at 6:44 of the second period. Ten minutes later, freshman winger Tracy Catlin padded the lead with help from junior center Angie Francisco and senior winger Courtney Smith.

It was Catlin's second goal of the weekend and the fifth of her rookie campaign.

"Angie led me with a pass that put me on a breakaway," Catlin said. "I kept the shot on the ice and it went through the five-hole."

Just 12 seconds later, Ruggiero followed up with her second goal of the day.

Deanna McDevitt put Yale on the scoreboard at 10:08 of the final period. Harvard junior winger Tara Dunn rounded out the scoring three minutes later with assists from Francisco and junior forward Kiirsten Suurkask.

The Crimson outshot the Elis, 44-21.
