The Harvard women's hockey team split its two ECAC games this weekend, beating Yale 4-2 on Saturday before falling to Princeton 3-1 on Sunday. The Crimson (16-7-0, 15-3-0 ECAC) had been hoping to come away with two wins on the weekend and move within striking distance of Dartmouth going into their showdown at Bright on Saturday afternoon.

Instead, even a victory over the Big Green would still leave the Crimson one point behind Dartmouth and in need of help from other teams in the ECAC to claim the championship.

Dartmouth (19-1-1, 16-1-1) was on the road last weekend and played well in a 5-3 non-conference win over Wisconsin. Junior forward Kristen King netted a hat trick for the Big Green. Dartmouth has a tough schedule this weekend with two big showdowns against ECAC foes. The Big Green is on the road against No. 2 Harvard on Saturday and No. 4 Brown on Sunday.

Brown (14-3-3, 11-3-3) was solid in two big victories this past weekend. The Bears soundly defeated Princeton 6-2 on Saturday and shut out Yale 3-0 on Sunday. Brown received goals from six different players, including three in a span of 2:26 in the third period, in the win over the Tigers.

A goal by Brown's Kathleen Kauth just 51 seconds into the game was all the Bears needed in the win over Yale. Brown, fourth in the ECAC standings, will host Boston College on Saturday and Dartmouth on Sunday.

St. Lawrence (17-5-3, 13-3-2) notched two victories this weekend with the help of its high-scoring offense. The Saints defeated Providence 6-3 on Saturday and handed Northeastern a 5-2 loss on Sunday. St. Lawrence was able to capitalize on its power-play opportunities, converting 4-of-6 on Saturday and 2-of-5 on Sunday. The Saints, currently third in the ECAC, will host Maine and New Hampshire next weekend.

New Hampshire (14-13-0, 10-8-0) was walloped 10-1 by Team USA in an exhibition game on Saturday. Junior forward Kira Misikowetz scored the only goal for the Wildcats. New Hampshire will be on the road against Cornell and St. Lawrence next weekend.

Meanwhile, Northeastern (13-11-1, 10-7-1) suffered defeats in each of its games last weekend. The Huskies were beaten 3-2 by Cornell on Saturday and 5-2 by St. Lawrence on Sunday. Northeastern allowed two Big Red power-play goals on nine penalties in its first loss and two more on seven penalties in Sunday afternoon's loss to the Saints.
