W. Hockey Sweeps Weekend With Big Wins

Yale, Princeton most recent victims for Crimson

"It's always tough against a team like Yale to play to your opponent's level," Catlin said. "It was a sloppy game, but we played much better against Princeton."

Harvard 6, Princeton 0

Entering the final weekend, Princeton needed one win to pass idle Niagara in the standings and qualify for the ECAC Tournament. But the Tigers were swept by the two best teams in the country--Brown and Harvard.

The twilight of Princeton's season began Friday night at Hobey Baker Rink, when the Crimson shut out the Tigers (11-13-5, 9-12-3) on their home ice.

"We knew going in that they needed the two points, and we were ready for anything they would throw at us," Ingram said. "They come out strong but we adjusted well in the second and third periods."

Ingram scored the lone goal of the opening stanza. At 14:09 of the first period she joined Botterill and junior winger Tammy Shewchuk around the net to give Harvard the lead for good.

"I was covering the point for Rugger, and when I joined the play down deep, I was uncovered," Ingram said. "Bots got me the puck and I was free to put it in."

Catlin scored at 4:32 of the second on an unassisted goal. Then Botterill scored the first of her three goals, with help from Shewchuk and junior defenseman Julie Rando.
