Athlete of the Week: Jennifer Botterill `02

The next evening in a 7-4 win over Providence, Botterill tallied the Crimson's only goal in the first period, then put two more on the board in the final three minutes of the second to turn a 3-2 Harvard deficit into a 4-3 Harvard lead. She also assisted on the Crimson's final goal, Ingram's second of the night.

"I think [Botterill's performance] is a testament to that entire line," Harvard Coach Katey Stone said. "Adding her game to that line is making it quite dominant."

Botterill has always been exceptional by human standards, but this season has been remarkable even for her. She now has 22 goals in 11 league games. No one else in the ECAC has more than 10 goals in conference play.

If Botterill can keep up her torrid pace, Harvard may well be headed back to Minnesota's Mariucci Arena to reclaim its national title.

If Botterill can make it that far, history foretells that she will not be stopped.
